This is written and published by James Grundy for the native newts of England, these being the smooth newt, the palmate newt and of course the Great crested newt.
It contains over 60 photographs and divided into easy to read and follow chapters. I particularly appreciated the newt photos. It informs you on how to tempt newts into your garden and pond. Having read this wonderful little book ( A4 size) I realised that my plans for a newt friendly pond would not work, it prevented me from making some quite big mistakes. The book also contains information on how to monitor and record your newts, observing and handling newts and useful contacts.
I ordered my copy through Amazon.
 
I ordered a copy from James directly through Ebay. A fantastic, informative book with lots of clear photos of our native species. Sound advice on how to set up and maintain a newt pond in your garden.

Thumbs up-a great read!

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
