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! ;)
