Seasonal First (5): Common Toad

We took an evening stroll at Orford ...
... and noticed a very speedy Common Toad scuttling across our path ...
... warts and all!
This is the first toad I have seen in 2012. I thought it was a medium-sized frog initially, but as soon as the photo was uploaded, you could see the warty skin immediately.

    Nice find Caroline. Don't think I've ever seen one outside of their migration time.

    Lovely photos! We saw our first toad of the year up in the Highlands last week, don't think we got photos though!

    A very nice toad! I remember trying to catch them when I was a kid and then thinking....yuck!....when I would get one :-) Actually, they didn't feel as bad as I expected them to.
