Palmate newts are smaller than smooth newts.
If you can get close to a breeding male, look at the tip of it's tail, look to see if there is a "filament" ie thread like bit protruding from the end.
The undersides of palmates are hardly spotty and can be pinkier.
Look at the Froglife website or British herpetological soc for indentification. |
