Kay 3,709 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I had a good few hours out mooching today & came across these things on my travels , i had found a tree to sit under & have a fag & a min to take in the surroundings & i spotted a squirell , it hadnt seen me so i moved myself round to get a photo & i was just crawling round on my knees & i heard foot steps This bloke looked at me gone out as i said i was after a squirell , thinking about it i would have done the same anyway i got one pic of it but its shite First Robin other than in a tree Underside of a tree branch My favourite find of the day They looked shagged out I see its the female carrying him about He fancied his chances as well Think he needs an appointment with spiderpig I had to lay down to take this but i am happy with the result A splash of colour to finnish the day off , all in all a lovely morning & worth getting out of bed for Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Neal 1,788 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 You're right Kay; they're toads. When you're looking for the spawn it will be in long strings wound all around the pond weed etc as opposed to the clumps of frog spawn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
