We had an allotment Work Party yesterday, clearing out old corrugated iron sheds and the most incredible amounts of sheer rubbish (two dead vacuum cleaners? Masses of twisted iron, broken glass, everything yo can imagine or have experienced) and found two toads. We placed them carefully near our wet ditch to choose new homes, but having photographed them I am so impressed by their beautiful orange eyes.
In my back yard (tiny) I have sometimes found toads among a sort of brick plinth on which I have placed pots of plants, and watered them.
I love toads.
