My bf found this toad in the corridor, where it made acquaintance with Disa's hairs. Bernese lose hairs all the time. We brought the toad in the garden afterwards.
Kenneth Graham repeatedly refers to Toad's hands as his "paws." Do the British really call this a paw? Or just him? Western toad hand/paw, near Ross Lake in the North Cascades, Washington.

Quite a few of these about in a dry ditch last week in Upton Magna.
Didn't seem to mind me carefully shoving my lens so close!!
Common Toad near Camas-luinie in Glen Elchaig. A very reddish individual, probably female.
View as large as possible!
So...I had about 30 various sizes of Monarch and Queen catepillars on my milkweed plants.
The next day, I had only three. They don't have many predators because milkweed is highly toxic. What the heck, I thought? Where did they all go?
Then, I spotted him. A Giant Toad, sitting right under the plants.
So, I asked him: Mr. Toad, did you eat any of my caterpillars?
He turned his back to me...so I poked his butt with a stick to move him out of the plant.
Then he turned around and charged at me!!!
I was like "Oh no you didn't! This is MY yard mister!".
He gave me a grouchy look and refused to budge.
So, I took his picture.
I went inside and watched him out the window...tick, tick, tick...about 15 minutes went by. He made a move...right under the milkweed....he stretched up...JUMP!!! He jumped high up into the plant and snatched one of the three remaining caterpillars!
AH Ha!! I had my evidence! I promptly put on gloves and went over to him and just picked him up with the intention of moving him around the corner to the opposite side of the house where there are lots of nice, moist, dark rows of palms with lots of bugs to eat.
Well...he didn't like that too much and PEED on me the whole way...the wind was blowing TOWARD me so it was all over my leg. Great, thanks Mr. Toad...you are soooo rude!
Convinced I solved the problem, I left him in his new position and went inside to clean up.
I then settled down in my office, only to look out the window and WHAT DO YOU KNOW!!! He was already back under the same Milkweed plant.
*Sigh* I went to battle with a Giant Toad and lost. :)
Here's a toad I found in a friend's backyard while doing some more lens testing. I was using a heavy, nearly coffee can sized copy machine lens (maker unknown), mounted on the front of a Nikon 105mm f/2.5 Ai-S lens . With the 105mm focused at infinity the copy lens used as a supplemental close-up lens gives a working distance of about 10", enough room to avoid crowding live subjects to the point where they feel threatened. This toad did lead me around a bit before settling down on a slight slope. I was able to get above it and lie flat with the camera nearly on the ground. Depth of field, even at f/16 is pretty thin, but not impossible to work with. Lighting was provided by a Nikon SB-18 Speedlight fitted with a diffuser made from a plastic powdered lemonade mix container. Shutter speed was 1/1600 second, ISO 400, f/16, "push-pull" focusing.
