illustrate terrestrial phase Great-crested Newts. The
white flash on the tail is a signalling device used by
males to attract the attention of females during the
breeding season and the eponymous crest is most obvious
in the first picture. This rare species is protected
under Section 16 (3) (a) of the Wildlife &
Countryside Act 1981 (amended by the Environment
Protection Act 1990) and the Conservation (Natural
Habitats, &C) Regulations 1994. and a license is
required to disturb them in any way.
