Groggy froggy

Post by nephiliim »

Hey folks,

Strawling around after work today to shoot some lichen... found this feller sitting in the middle of the road. Helped it cross the road (it was quite busy). He let me take only one photo as a thank you.. and then hopped along.

"Groggy froggy" is cute, a lot better than "Bumpy Bufo".

Problem is your beast is not a frog.

Definitely a toad.

I cannot see all the features but it looks like a Common European Toad - Bufo bufo
