From a nature walk with a couple of local biologists. X-T1 + Pentax-M 50mm 1.4.
It is a Wood Frog, one of our most common frogs. The newt is a Red EFT, the juvenile stage of a Red Spotted Newt. As a juvenile, they are strictly terrestrial, but as they mature, they get considerably larger and spend their time in or near water. They are also quite toxic to predators, which explains their willingness to be out in the open.They may gross people out but I personally love frogs and newts! haha Very nice set of pictures. What kind of frog is that?
