The toad may have been after insects which are attracted to the window,
though there wasn't any light showing from inside. I just wonder how he
knew, or how he found out.

I've always tended to view amphibians as rather limited in the neural
department. However, the more I watch frogs, toads and newts in my
garden, the more impressed I am.

For a start, they definitely have a fairly well developed mental 'map'
of the garden. The 'know' where the pond and half-barrel are, the toads
apparently also 'know' where the compost bins are.
