Toad in the….. Bin….

I opened our composting bin to put some peelings in it today and what did I see but this gentleman.

After me complaining about not having any frogs in our pond, who is this but an authentic Mr Toad.  I must have picked him up with the garden waste, and he is lucky not to have been either strimmed or chipped.  Anyway, he was fine, so I took him down to the side of our pond with instructions to him to come back with some females next year.

Saphy did not seem that interested but we escorted her inside just in case.  Our cat Schrodi who was a demon for mice and voles was absolutely terrified of frogs – I am not sure he ever met a toad.
