Just over 180 records have now been collated as part of this years Easter Newt Hunt. A good spread of data has been collected from Cornwall, Devon, Wales, Scotland and even a few records from the Netherlands. We need to get hold of more records so please do make an effort to get to a local pond and use the online form to send in your records. Even if you do not see newts these negative records are just as important. We would also welcome photos of garden ponds to accompany the record you have submitted. An interactive map will be posted on the newt hunt website in due course and a final report will be produced at the end of the summer.
