I have seen a few more frogs and toads around the last two years or so. Toads live around my shady area where I keep my potted plants. There has been very little rain and the roadside drain has completely dried up, frogs are probably looking for food and shelter where it's damp.

I saw two huge frogs yesterday, one was green with some brown but it hopped to cover quickly when I was watering.

Later in the day I was slug hunting, looking under pots. There was a huge frog looking at me, sat in a pot (the frog!). It looked 'wet' and dark slatey grey, with an orange eye lid. I went for the camera, it hung around for a photo shoot! The flash went off as it was in the shade and you can't see the orange colour on the eyelid, but look at those hind legs! The last joint is all foot, toes are so long! The colour also is showing more khaki with a little brown. It was around 3" long.
