APRIL

During the winter, toads try to conserve their energy, seeking refuge in undisturbed areas of garden and woodland. In spring they migrate to their spawning areas, often en masse, when driving around the estate becomes an exercise in avoidance techniques.

Generally the males arrive first and wait for the females, but often one will see an enterprising male hitching a ride on a female's back - a great source of amusement to the onlooker.

After spawning, the vegetation around the edges of lochs and ponds is host to thousands of eggs laid in long strings, which will hatch into tadpoles after about ten days.
