One of my resident frogs...

Awaiting the water...

That looks more like a toad to me.  Aren't they just great!  I was cutting the grass yesterday and one leaped out of the bushes, clean over the lawn mower, and one bounce later, hit the pond water.  Amazing amphibs!

oh - maybe I'm wrong but I thought the brown ones were toads and the spotty ones were frogs. Also this one was very jumpy, whereas toads tend to crawl and seem slower.

Need a expert to confirm!

Difficult one!! it has the exact markings of a frog............but it looks as if it has a warty skin,which is the main way of telling the difference.Both come in different shades of green and brown,and both crawl and hop!! but generally toads are slower,yes.

I was out last night in the front garden, collecting slugs  for my frogs in the back garden,and hand feeding them(almost) ;D  At least they die knowing they have provided food for something else!!

Tis hard to be sure, but if it was a jumpy little amphib, then I guess it was a froggie.  Ava found one tonite when we were out slug hunting, romantic I know, and he was very upright, bright lime green, and jumped higher than a double decker bus!




Who me, exagerate, not in a zillion years!  ;)
