We are having a new liner in our swimming pool. This meant first of all pumping out the many cubic metres of mainly green looking rain water. We were able to use some of that to water the horses when they were here, but most of it watered the fields. Of course there is always a remaining amount of flotsam in the bottom of the pool, usually including frogs and dead mice.
We fished out the little frogs and transported them to a small pond which has formed in the field, where they found family friends. But imagine our surprise when not one but three little salamanders swam into our nets.
These too were carried to the pond, where they seem to be happy enough.
