Found this newt on the patio at 11.15pm a couple of nights ago, still a bit early for them to be out. I suspect it was moving from one safe haven to another. Most of the newts in the pond winter under the deck at one end of the pond as its filled with logs and brick piles but we do find them anywhere in the garden.

I'm not so sure about it being a little early, they will be looking to lay spawn very shortly.
The frogs that visit our garden are quite active all year through.

It looks sober as well. I thought newts were supposed to be inebriated ...
