I love the toads and frogs that inhabit our property so really enjoy your photo. It wouldn't be a complete spring without the males' shrill mating calls that I'm sure annoy my neighbours.
No sadly not my garden Keith, the toad lives in the walled garden in Pleasington cemetary down the road. We do have frogs in our garden though, my brother Mick who lives next door has posted a couple a pics in the past when the poor froggies got washed up on the patio after a heavy downpour.

Weird, didn't notice when I first took the pic, he looks like he's got a square indentation on his back, like a bits missing.
ReplyDeleteAwe! Toads are wonderful friends in my garden!
ReplyDeleteHe does look like he's been in the wars.
ReplyDeleteFrogs 'n' Toads; love 'em.
Is this in your garden?

ReplyDeleteMr Toad is handsome, indeed!
ReplyDeleteI think your your toad trumps my frog Deb.
ReplyDeletecute guy! great shot!
ReplyDeleteHello Mr Toad!
ReplyDeleteWe have a little frog pond in our garden for them. I find them fascinating.
He does look like he has been around a while! My dad had a old toad who let him rub him on his side when he came by our patio!
