Juvenile Toad at Keyhaven

I hadn't seen a Toad for ages - then this little chap popped up in front of us at Keyhaven!

He was trying to cross the road to the salt marshes, but I tried to tell him it wouldn't be a good idea as there was a Little Egret there - as well as many other hungry birds with long bills!:eek:

I just hope he stayed on the safe side, among the long grasses.....

(oops... pic seems to have got lost. Will try again!)

Lovely picture, Catherine.

Nice one Catherine, Toads have a strange beauty. I know that mammals don't like the taste of toads, but I guess the big birds like heron, don't taste their lunch.:)

Nice catch - he's got good camouflage... and a very determined look on his face.
