Can anyone identify this newt. I thought great crested but the belly was whiteish. Could only get a photo from above as wanted to get it back in the ground asap

I believe you are now allowed to move a great crested newt to a nearby place of safety if it is in immediate danger. Dont quote me in court however...
Haha Alan, I have read that you can!
