Kreuzkröte (Epidalea calamita)
The natterjack breading season will probably start through at the end of April/beginning of May and I haven't found any at the main breeding side yet. But I haven't found common toads there either, which is unusual as their breeding is going on elsewhere at the moment.
Last year around this time I documented mating in E. calamita and the mismatched mating pairs of B. bufo and E. calamita, which I hope to find again this year. Maybe an early onset of spring promoted the overlap of breeding last year and there won't be any this year? I'm interested to find out.
