They're Alive!

Well, the two dead salamanders from this morning are still dead, but this evening, when I popped out the house to get myself a squid burrito (which was very tasty by the way), I was on the look out for salamanders, and I wasn't disappointed - there were three of them on the front step this evening, and they were all alive.

They were all small (about an inch in length each) and I got to use the macro mode in the point and shoot to get the shot below of two of the three.

Hopefully blasting them with a camera flash doesn't harm them!


I wonder what's causing the sudden influx of salamanders - there is a full moon at the moment, and the dew point means that the front steps are covered in dew - I wonder if that's what it is?
