Males and females dance together in a captivating display of courtship, their vibrant colors shining beneath the surface. Meanwhile, Smooth newts (Lissotriton vulgaris) reveal their beauty both on land and in water. From males flaunting their striking patterns to females nurturing precious larvae, these creatures showcase the wonders of nature's diversity. In Sutherland, Scotland, a Palmate Newt (Lissotriton / Triturus helveticus) finds solace on lichen-covered rocks amidst breathtaking scenery. This resilient species thrives even at an altitude of 2, 150m in Vall DIncles. Witness various varieties of Water Newt or Eft as they navigate their habitats with grace. The Fire salamander adds its fiery charm alongside the smooth newt's elegance – a true spectacle for any nature enthusiast. Italian Newts (Triturus italicus) make an appearance too, standing proudly on wet leaf litter in Italy during September. These young individuals embody resilience and adaptability as they explore their surroundings. Nature never ceases to amaze us; even European Blackbirds (Turdus merula) partake in this intricate ecosystem by feeding on Smooth Newts (Lissotriton vulgaris).
