I've had a frog in my garden for 3 years or so and I wonder if anyone
might have some insights?


It seems to be a bachelor, I've never seen 2 frogs. How does it cope
with the boredom?


Can they survive drought? I've been watering regularly round its
favourite spot but I'm going to have to leave the garden for a couple
of weeks and the forecast doesn't look wet. *I was thinking of sinking
a plastic container with water into the soil underneath a heather
thereby reducing loss through evaporation. *Or will he (she) just dig
herself down till it gets damp enough.


*Are you sure it's a frog not a toad? iirc toads are more often solitary
(and longlived)


not certain but...la voici

Looks more like a toad (warts) but the common ones are brown not green.
