Toad in the Wood Pile

I know we are finally enjoying some heat and sunshine but I like to be prepared for every eventuality so having cut the grass I decided to sort out the wood pile in readiness for a delivery of seasoned branches that will have to be cut up, split and stacked.

Whilst doing so I found this very handsome Common Toad (Bufo bufo) sitting at the bottom of the pile. He was very relaxed and stayed around long enough for me to get the camera and take these pictures.
