Amphibian Amour

I have been busy this last week or so catching up with editing work and have had problems with redesigning the blog. This has meant I haven't published anything new for a while.I think I may now be back on track so here goes.Last month I witnessed the spectacle of hundreds of common toads spawning at some ponds on a local nature reserve.Shown below are some of the images of this sexual frenzy as dozens of toads vied for the attention of the females. I visited again a few days later and there was not a single toad to be seen.I have made a note to visit earlier next year when I can hopefully obtain better images than those shown below.Thanks for looking in and enjoy the Easter weekend.
