Albert Tatlock Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Clearly a load of toads on the island - many of them come-overs. I've seen quite a few of them and some should probably be sent back to the UK. I've spotted quite a few newts too, most often on my walks along Douglas Prom on a Friday/Saturday night.

puddy Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Last summer I saw a small twig move on the path ahead of me near to the Laxey Wheel. It took me a while to remember that twigs don't usually move or run away from me that fast and it was infact a newt! It made my day. When we were kids a few of us saw what looked like a small lizard or a large newt on a rock in Andreas village, but a split second later it was gone. Nobody believed us and our teacher said it must have been a frog or maybe a haggis (they have legs and run around don't they?). Another girl at school liked our story and felt comfortable enough to tell us that she'd seen a foot high man with a green cap in a hedge but he vanished as soon as she saw him. That was about as obscure as seeing a newt at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
