Tonight I caught a glimpse of it swimming just beneath the surface of the water.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/froglet_0910104563.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>The newts have also been active, and the next shot is a young newt, part of the way through its metamorphosis.
