Of course, the apparent increase in numbers may be down to the amount of time I now spend staring into the cool still &#8211; and somewhat weed-infested &#8211; water, particularly so since I spotted the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/newt_0810071644.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">young gilled newt <\/a>earlier in the autumn. You look harder, you see more. And to an extent it&#39;s true. I do now scour the surface of the pond for them while waiting for the wood mouse or a fox to appear. <\/p>\n<p>The past few nights I&#39;ve seen fewer of the juveniles, but a couple of adults have been breaking the surface. They seem somewhat more tolerant of the flashlight than earlier in the year, possibly due to the much cooler temperatures we&#39;re now experiencing. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/newt_2310073734.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img SRC=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/newt_2310073734.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><span class=\"aligncenter\">Last night<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/newt_2510073829.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img SRC=\"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/newt_2510073829.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><span class=\"aligncenter\">Tonight<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>Camera note: both shots taken with the Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG macro lens<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1026],"tags":[114],"class_list":["post-982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-newt-amphibians-2","tag-newt","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/982","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=982"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/982\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
