Toad help please

[HilaryM]

Thanks Tom. Think they must like my pond, found this little one roosting on the netting. Seem to have loads of very tiny ones in the grass too.

That looks more like a Ranid than a Bufonid. Not sure what species as I am not really up on UK species as I could be.

[HilaryM]

I wouldn't have a clue. I just about know the difference between a frog and a toad since coming on this forum! At least this one isn't sick like the last chap.

[Kurt]

Thats a good thing.

The frog on the net is what we call the common frog in England, Rana temporaria. The toad was Bufo bufo, we call that the common toad, though they are not as common as they once were.

Thanks Beetle - I thought the one on the net was a toad!
