Theres not much difference between UK frogs and toads. Frogs are more
aquatic so if its in the pond, its probably a frog. If its in the
flower beds, its probably a toad.


Unless the toads are mating-- Then either it will be a male screaming
24-7 for a female. Or it will be 2 toads playing piggy-back.g.
After a couple or 3 days the toads return to the flowerbed. To be
joined in a couple months by hundreds of tiny-toads.


Are UK toads this obnoxious when calling for a mate?
