Toads and Newts


I have a small pond in my garden and have a surprisingly good number of toads this year. There are frogs as well but they aren't so obvious, appearing now and then mostly at night.  We found a lovely little toad sitting in a snail shell.  It was really bright coloured and, when in the water, had an almost neon glow.  Here are a couple of shots of it plus a couple of smooth  newts which were also around.
