My toads can have many different shades of light and dark grey, brownish gray, pale beige, some with patterns of different shades and others just plain coloured.
Some have hardly any lumps at all, others have very pronounced ones.
Another one on another day on the same toadstool.
I like the greenish toad, the other one looks as though it is made out of concrete - apart from the eyes. I can't find my frog it has found another hiding place.

I spend far too much time near my little pond. But there is sooo..much to watch!

I thought it might be interesting to compare tadpoles of frogs and toads.
Last year, the tadpoles of my green frogs didn't make it to the stage of frog. This might be caused because they started mating very late in the season, it was a very chilly spring then. Another reason or part of it could be that my pond only gets half-shadow in spring-summer and tadpoles need a lot of warmth and sun to mature.
(I learned this because, once I gave about a hundred of the toad tadpoles away to a person who has a pond which is situated in full sun. The tadpoles in that pond developed at least twice as fast as the ones remaining in mine.).
I didn't know either that tadpoles can survive the winter and continue with their development the next spring.
This is a picture of one of the survivor green frog tadpole with the newly born ones of toads.
Took this Pic . two days ago .
Hide-and-seek!
Isn't it great how some simple frogs can make us smile!
Well, I'm not European, but I've been lurking on this thread. I just love frogs!
My DH and I visited Europe last year and I took this pic in John_Benoot's garden in Belgium while we were there.....does that count? LOL
Looks like the brother of my smallest frog, mgh!
That's him!
Oh, that must be him!! ;o)
