A couple of the dead newts gills had almost been absorbed.
I think that unfortunately the water probably froze too deep, it is only a small pond about 18 inches across and about 7 inches deep. It started of as part of a small waterfall / stream arrangement but the channel the water ran through cracked up. So I just left it for the wild life and pond insects.
I like to encourage the local wildlife, and it is amazing how much has populated our pond but in order for it to survive the fish would need to go, some of the fish have got too big anyway.
