Discovered today in damp, boggy grass on Military Way route, adjacent to Hadrians Wall walk. The newt was around 3-4cm in length.
Apologies if my eyesight is shot, but is it definitely not a lizard? Looks a bit scaly on this tiny screen, and very like one my boy found the other day. Feet look lizardy too.

Oddly enough, I was trying to identify a lizard I photographed the other day and came across this:
How do I tell the difference between a lizard and a newt?
Quick answer Lizards are scaly and very quick – if you can catch it, it’s a newt!
