Mentha aquatica syn. Mentha hirsuta

This is not the best of pictures but right in the centre is a newt making a nest out of a curled up water mint leaf. There are other curled up leaves, all hopefully containing a baby newt 🦎 #wildlifewednesday 🦎 #newts 🦎 #newt 🦎

Hard to see Sue…..I’d love to see it though

I videoed it Elaine which was a bit easier to see as it was wriggling about, fascinating I'd never seen it happening before 🦎 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

What a shame we can’t watch videos…

@gardentags any chance you can add a short video option ?
