On his way back to Toad Hall, this warty fellow makes his way slowly through the rough grass. I thought Toads lived in water, but I was wrong. Common Toads, as this one is, favour woodland and damp areas and can tolerant quite dry habitats. Though they can be found in ponds around February and March when breeding. They usually spend their days hidden away in damp hollows, coming out later in the day to hunt for slugs and worms. So what this one was about today, I don't know. The Sun was high and hot, and it was exposed in the relative open beyond the woodland fringe, it looked arduous moving through the rough. and can't have been comfortable for him or her. Always nice to see nature though.
