The smooth newt (Lissotriton vulgaris) is a widespread amphibian species found throughout western Europe, and is the most common newt species encountered in the British Isles (Speybroeck et al., 2016). Smooth newts can grow up to 11 cm long and can be found inhabiting a variety of aquatic and terrestrial habitats. The great crested newt (Triturus cristatus) is found throughout northern Europe, and is the largest newt species found in Britain, measuring up to 16 cm long (Beebee & Griffiths, 2000; Speybroeck et al., 2016). Most individuals of both species leave aquatic habitats in June, and the adults then return to water in February for the breeding season (Beebee & Griffiths, 2000). It is during this post-breeding dispersal that newts are most likely to be encountered in terrestrial habitats.
