Ok, not quite the size of the ones found on the islands in Indonesia, but these little chaps and or chapesses live at the bottom of my garden.
The common or smooth Newt.

Taz & I sat out in the garden a couple of hours ago watching Harry the hedgehog & Dave the mouse feeding -we put out food for the hedgepigs & Dave drops in for a nibble too. While we were there, a fox set off the security lights at the far end of the garden. A recent regular visitor.

Miaow Miaow, the local cat, (that's what he answered when we asked him his name), completely ignores all the birds in our garden -& they've learnt to ignore him. He can stroll through the middle of them all & they don't even flinch. Maybe that's a sneaky long term strategy to lure them into his reach, I don't know. He goes crazy over anything 4 legged though. Now the baby bunnies are about he's chased several round & round the garden. His owner says he comes home to find headless bunnies left in the bath for him. Nice.
The fox eats the pheasants. Catches them unawares while they're roosting at night. The remains of several have been found in the mornings -just a pile of feathers & a pair of feet. At least he's eating them & not just playing with them. Not sure who I'd rather see though -the pheasants who come to feed in our garden & are real characters, or the fox who we've spotted several times at the far end of the garden & is nice to see cos he's not been seen here before.

HAHA! I love cats!
Up at longbridge mill, I dragged Marcus to a car meet and there was a cold blooded killer cat. He had about 3 mice in 5 minutes and he was such a viscious nasty killer he rolled over and had a belly rub and everything
