Common Toad

Common Toad / bufo bufo. Derbyshire. 22/03/19.

 

‘THE LUST OF TOADS.’

 

Toad migrations to traditional breeding waters across most of the UK appear to have reached their climax for another year.

I love the doggedness these fabulous amphibians show towards all the obstacles and changes in their world, year on year.

These words seem to sum it up so well …

 

from: Toad Dreams by Marge Piercy. (1983)

 

"We are far too busy

to be starkly simple in passion.

We will never dream the intense

wet spring lust of the toads."
