We had a successful Toad "hunting" night here. We caught (and released) 5 toads tonight. This is just a fun activity my kids and I started doing after we moved.
We watch them hop around in the shower and then put them back...

I grew up in Arizona and have lived here all my life. I have rarely seen crazy wildlife, such as scorpions and spiders, but recently I moved into an apartment that is right off the mountains off of the Black canyon freeway.
We...

MyLot is probably not the best first port of call for advice, but I thought I’d ask you anyway – especially those in the UK – because someone out there might happen to have experience of something like this!
Quite a few times when...

After our night of frenzied activity on the toad crossing, things have been considerably quieter. The next night we found fewer than 20 toads all together, in contrast to the final total of over 700 creatures the night before. The...

For the past couple of weeks the toad patrol have been out every evening, watching for toads emerging from their winter sleep and heading over to the breeding ponds. The weather has certainly been warm enough (warmest February on...

Some of you have probably read my posts before about the ‘Toad Patrol’.
Every spring toads wake up from hibernation in the woods and make their way to their traditional breeding ponds, which are unfortunately the other side of a...

It’s that time of year again – some of you may remember that I’ve written before about the toad patrol. A busy road passes through some local woods, cutting off the woodland where many toads hibernate from the deep ponds where...

I found out that one puddle in our neighborhood is going to be dried out because of a hot weather; a problem that is a problem only to me.

Fleur (@Fleura) posted about her volunteer work 'rescuing' toads and getting them safely across roads and into nearby wetlands and ponds. Then @MALUSE commented that there are signs in her area in Germany warning motorists of the...

Spring is here and that means it’s time for the toad patrol again. Last year I found out about this scheme, organised by the charity Froglife http://www.froglife.org/, which helps to save toads from being squashed at places where...

I’m really studying my trivia notebooks this week, as you can tell, if you’ve been following my posts. I’m getting ready for “Jeopardy Night” at my son’s house later this month.

A couple of weeks ago I signed up for a local ‘Toads on the roads’ scheme after seeing a poster asking for helpers. There is a nationwide scheme broadly organised by the charity Froglife, but basically everything comes down to one...
