Maybe a Fowlers toad. I'm not sure I've ever tried to ID a toad before!
Part of the problem is that they can change color and even size in accordance with their environment.
This is just one more critter I shot at Nahant Marsh.
Common Toad / bufo bufo. Derbyshire. 22/03/19.
‘TOAD SMILE.’
I’m pretty sure this was a female Toad judging by size and very round belly! She looked full of spawn and had, in Toad terms, rather a happy face. Perhaps she was pleased she hadn’t been saddled with a male for the journey to a traditional breeding site.
Endcliffe Park 100125 - the third in a series of sculptures that have been popular local landmarks in Endcliffe Park. The previous 2 were carved from wood and slowly decayed - this latest one is cast in iron and has developed a lovely patina of rust in the short time it has been in place. The low afternoon sun certainly enhanced the colour
It`s that time of year again, pond is full of them plus newt`s
Thank you for taking the time to view or comment.
Came accross thsi guy at Agua Caliente Park in Tucson - one of the best places to photograph if your on the Norther East Side
The toad was crossing the footpath and froze when we came along It never even blinked an eye as we walked on it moved away off the path.
a remote road! When I stopped to take photos I could see if cars were coming from a long ways away....so it was safe to stop and take some photos and then get this character off the road!
A somewhat disgruntled looking Gulf Coast Toad perched on a tree root. They're normally active at night so seeing one out during the day was a surprise.

We had a cold snap the past week that sent the toads back into hiding. Seasonable temps yesterday brought them out again to get down to the business of breeding.
This one was quite small & when it hopped out I looked in vain for the yellow stripe down the back that would have been something special! Holme NWT
I found a toad. I know i already have a pic like this but this one was taken for my independent study project so I have to use it
Archive image from 2013 showing a toad crossing the road E14 in "Bergskleiva" in Stjørdal, Norway.
The river Stjørdalselva meanders through the landscape and just behind the trees in this image is a rich meander lake that was cut off from the main river many years ago. This meander lake is very important to many species including toads and other amphibians.
Every spring the toads migrate from their winter grounds to this lake to breed, and they have to cross the E14 in the process. Numerous toads get run over by cars while they cross the road, but since the main migration happens during nighttime, traffic is more scarce and many toads make it.
This image i taken in the end of September, when the season in the lake is over for this year. Like in the spring, the toads will have to cross back over the road to their wintergrounds.
There is also atleast one tunnel dug under the road for the toads to cross through, but it doesnt always look like they are that effective.
This is the bravest of the two toads in the garden that day, I really had to get up close to him with my macro lens, but he was not minding it, just busy catching flies.
The toad was just very small but with the macro lens It looks huge.
Male toad and female underneath. Not mating, this is called amplexus. The male clings on to the female so he gets first dibs on egg fertilisation honours. Males sometimes grab other males. If it croaks they let it go! The male was croaking joyously - the female was less enthusiastic............
For those of you who care: I used a Sigma 100mm f2.8 macro with a ring flash. I set up the camera for f9.0 with ISO200. I underexposed 2/3 of a stop as well to get a subtle fill effect without getting a dark background.
