Smooth Newt – Breeding Surveys

Newts Breeding Survey

Smooth Newts Breeding Surveys are recommended to be undertaken between mid March to mid June.  During this time newts are moving to ponds to breed and are more easily identified in waterbodies (newts themselves and their eggs) than when out of the breeding season when they are land based.
