Tuesday 7th April, Canal Towpath Wildlife

Cycling down the towpath of the Bridgewater Canal (The Duke’s Cut) this morning I spotted what I thought was a leaf blowing in the wind ahead of me. Except there was no wind:

Not the best photograph, it was taken with the camera on my Samsung Mini S3 Batphone.

  1. Looks like a big newt but scale a bit difficult to determine. Were you frightened?

    1. Terrified! ;-)

      It was about 5" long, nose to tail. At first I thought it was a newt but the lack of webbed feet and pointy tail suggested otherwise, to me at any rate. I'm by no means an expert though.
