New critter in the pond today, have no idea how he got there.
He is 40ft off but from the photo seems to be a Red-spotted Newt.
He basks in the Sun on this fake lily pad, leaves for a time and returns. I guess he has laid claim to it. He looks fat and happy.
Apparently these salamanders start life in water, then live on land a couple years as they mature, then back to live in water as adults.
It is hard to believe this little guy has already survived for years.
He is welcome here.
