Something Old, Something Newt

Site For Sore Eyes

A Welsh builder spent $325,000 on a special new habitat for a protected species of newt, then discovered there were only two on site. Anwyl Construction was forced to create a habitat as part of its 26-property development because of the existence of great crested newts. After the company finished work on the habitat, environmental specialists arrived to move the newts to their bespoke home. But they found only two.
