Well done rescuing it but maybe you should have kissed it and found your prince, that froglet is a toadling, they have had a bad year and every one saved is great for the environment, well done you
Brilliant pictures by the way, if you look closely you can make out tiny bumps over it (sure sign its a toad)

How can you tell a toad from a frog, it's something I've always wondered.

Frogs are usually smooth.Toads have lumps and bumps.

Yeah but you can't see smooth or lumps and bumps in K.S.H's picture so how's todbear managed to tell them apart?

frogs tend to be slightly more green coloured and toads are more brown coloured, I have been watching them leaving the canal from my boat, I took loads of photos but none were a patch on that one. One morning there were dozens climbing the side of the canal and moving into little holes I shall put one of my pics up but they are not very good

Would now be a good time to tell people you got sweaty eyes when he died? ........ No? ......... OK I won't

[todbear]

here is one picture please bear in mind I am hanging over the side of the boat and had to use flash as it was dark down there, the picture has been cropped to show up the toads so definition is not good

[mthead]

No its ok i can make them out two near the water line,and a few up on that sort of ledge.......
