I was asked earlier in the year what would I most like to photograph this year and my reply was the Natterjack Toad, a species I have looked for and failed many times. I got my wish over the past couple of days. It meant sleeping in the car for a late night and early morning hunt. A first for me, not sleeping in the car because that is a regular occurrence but the Toad, a species I have wanted to see for years. Chuffed is an understatement.!!!!
This rare toad is smaller than the more widespread common toad Bufo bufo. Natterjack toads also exhibit a thin bold yellow stripe down the middle of the back, and have notably shorter legs on which they walk rather than hop. The natterjack gets its common name from the loud rasping call made by the male in spring.
Sorry everyone, I have only just got back I will catch up with everyones postings in the next couple of days. I need some sleep I can hardly keep my eyes open. xx
