Bubbles and Spike

A quick series of photos from this evening. The first three are newts, coming to the surface of the pond for air. Grabbing shots like these has become a minor obsession following this post from last week.

As for the 'spike' in the title, that's a reference to the garden hedgehogs (of which there are at least a pair). Here's the larger of the two.

    No woodmice around? Bubble and squeak is traditional.

    Still some great shots. :up:

    Adele, thanks. The pond shots are "something to do while waiting for something to happen" type of shots, but with a gaming feature of "shoot the bubble". The third shot gets the bonus points 😉
