Are you sure it was a male? I see no crest or silver in its tail. Looks female to me

Are they your newts?
If so do you have permission for these, it took us ages to finaly get permission, and its under strict protences lol

I was thinking the same, they do all look like females, would be able to tell better if you took a pic of the behind.

I third that, they all look female to me - the "male" has no silver flash in the tail and even though the crest would be flat to the skin because it is out of the water you should still be able to make out the fold.

I think he/she they said the newts were in his/her pond, in which case provided he/she doesn't disturb them or their habitat then there is no harm in taking photographs.
