About 30 adults and children were able to see at close quarters the newts living in the Moat on Tenison Manor at the recent Dragons on the Moat event held by volunteers from Sustainable Cottenham.There are two types of newts living there: Great Crested Newts (a protected species) and Smooth Newts. In the spring they come back to the water in the Moat to breed, having hibernated in the nearby vegetation and gardens. They are difficult to spot during the day but become active after dark and can be seen with a torch. Fortunately, one of the organisers holds a Newt Licence so they were able to carefully catch a male and allow everyone to see his impressive dragon-like crest before releasing him again. There are over 50 Great Crested Newts in the area and two newts were even rescued from a road drain! ... See MoreSee Less

With its prominent, wavy crest, the great crested newt, also known as the 'warty newt', looks like a mini dinosaur! This protected species favours clean ponds during the breeding season.
