Back on the nature theme we had a strange experience tonight. In the past we have seen toads on the road leading up from the house but not in the numbers we experienced this evening. There were hundreds of toads so much so that Allison had to get out of the car to move them along. As far as I can tell they are Common Toads ( Bufo bufo ) but not being an expert I could be completely wrong so please let us know if you happen to think differently. It was only after we got home that I discovered that toads contain toxins on their skin ( don't tell Allison ). Fortunately her Prince was in the car or it could have been fatal !!!
