A "something" in my garden, March '09

I have no idea how to distinquish between toads and frogs - can anybody tell me what this is? I had to move it from the path it, it was very lethargic and dry and in grave danger of being met with a sticky end thanks to next door's cat!

  • A common toad maybe.  I have loads round my garden.  I was told years ago that you should always pick up a toad or frog with wet hands as the heat from your hands burns them.. Don't know how true it is but I always m,ake sure my hands are wet!!  Great pic. Love frogs and toads.  

    Everything in life is speaking in spite of its apparent silence.
