That is a Toad and I asked Yvonne to grab my camera, while I kept my eye on it and despite feeling sick looking at it. Yuk!

I think you are lucky having a toad, as Alfie said, should keep your garden clear of bugs and at least toads don't leap about like frogs!
You should make your peace with him! ;D ;D

We have Toads and frogs and now also newts. The Toads have a Barritone type sound and the frog sounds more like a squeeky toy. Tammy always chases the frogs and they squeek at her. ;D ;D Slimmy things.  |

A teeny, weeny froggie in the Florida garden.  We saw quite a few of these minis, both in our garden (usually in the pool) and over at the kids house, too, also in the pool. They are fully grown frogs and only about the size of half of the little finger nail!!! |

The frogs and the fish both have the same idea here, they seem to be collecting around the edge of the pond that has remained unfrozen. I must make some more holes in the ice if the cold weather continues much longer.  |

Great shot catching the fish and frogs together like that, Pete.  Do you know what kind of frogs they are? They are very light coloured, have never seen any that colour in our pond or garden. |

Frogs is frogs, I'm afraid, to me Kedi.
They are just the common ones we get around here.
Do they change colour, or am I thinking of something else?

You are probably thinking of chamaeleons, Pete,  but they look completely different. |

The frogs have been here a couple of days now. Found this couple down on the lower patio this morning. After getting some pics, I carefully picked them up and put them down near the water's edge. The bottom one has something wrong with her right eye as there is a huge growth above it.   |

Great shots Kedi,Pete is correct common frogs and indeed most frogs have the ability to change colour to some degree it's a survival thing enabling taking in their background colour and blending with it I have frogs common frogs in various colours in my pond.

Thanks DAG and TL. Our frogs unfortunately don't know that they are supposed to eat slugs, though, DAG.

Our frogs spawned yesterday, 4th April, same date as last year. They seem to have outdone themselves this year judging by the amount of spawn there is, but then, there do seem to be more frogs than usual. At any rate, they have been croaking just about non-stop today and keeping an eye on Peter working in the garden and me going around with my camera. It does give me a chuckle to see all the little heads looking out of the pond, and if one comes up nearer to you for a better look, then several others quickly follow suit. Then it is a case of who can outstare the other. ;D    |

They certainly seem to have been busy Kedi, some lovely photos I found this little chap when I let the pups out this evening, I wondered what Bill was sniffing at then I saw him move and went to get the camera.  Alfie |

He's a handsome chappie, Alfie, and you were lucky that he was still there when you got back with the camera. Is it a toad or a frog? I think possibly a toad. I saw a little toad a couple of days ago but unfortunatly no camera to hand and too far away to get it. |
