NT1582, Dalgety Bay, Fife - dipping in a good way

So after a slow week of house guests and distractions (all of them good) I met up with someone from the local woodland group who just happens to have a house in the square and a pond in his garden. Hoorah! Thus an unexpected and unsuspecting Palmate Newt was added to the list. Few more plants around the place too.

We don' need no Steenkeen' Hellebore
