    Clive Of England via UK Amphibians & All Things Wildlife bought me here! I've never seen a toad climb before, let alone climb a tree! Amazing. Love the work the volunteers do, they must make such a difference!

      Thanks for plugging (me and UK Amphibians, Sister. Chap could do with an extra sub or two for his pond/amphibian exploits. See you there next time? Ta ta.

    A thousand views and no comments save mine? fishy. Our not-so-common toads are always fun to watch, And handle. Ever carried a bucketful over a busy road in Springtime? It's a rare joy. Notice the variety in colouration among toads: many dirt brown, some reddish, some dark-skinned and a few a little sandy. CP mentioned the old toad of 40 years and my auntie had a female she found living in her garden when she moved in and the same female was still seen 25 years later. Strange that the toad showed no interest in moving on and was content to mate and spawn with visiting males a few times. Only a vicious cat-mauling prevented Mrs Toad living to extreme toad old age. Still don't know why a toad would make the effort to climb a tree if there's food all around the ground.

      Hi !!😃🤣👋
      Common Toads are interesting and lovely to see in the garden. And fun to watch I agree 😃. Too many cats killing amphibians too unfortunately😟.

      @@Nirmal-qo8gw Hello again! Yes, cats are an un-natural feature of ecosystems and their predatory activities can significantly damage garden wildlife, birdlife in particular. A few toads are likely killed for sport if they co-exist with cats in the garden. Say 'hi!' to the newts for me, LBJ.

      @@Nirmal-qo8gwyeah. Magpies and crows take them as well but considering they’re a natural part of the ecosystem I don’t mind that. I like rats but they do kill a lot of newts, frogs and toads so keeping they’re numbers down is beneficial
