Just saw this in my garden abad was wondering if it's a frog or a toad? It was smaller than it looks as I zoomed in.

Toads walk, frogs hop!
That is fantastic. I have a toad population and I always think that the baby toads - just after they move out of the pond - look like little mobile broad beans. I love them!
Young toad. Frogs don't have the obvious warts.
Or Gherkins, Ladybird...
Great to have him in your garden Denno, isn't it?
Funny how people will often like frogs, but not toads.
They're all lovely, and a real asset

Lol, I'm just pleased to see any little critters (so long as they're not eating my plants). I was just starting to have a tidy up and then I noticed him/her, I haven't got a pond but there are lots nooks and crannies in the garden (and piles of 'stuff' that I never got round to tidying up).
They do like to tuck themselves into dark little nooks and crannies
It just shows that you don't need a pond to get all kinds of wildlife coming in
