Toby the garden frog who loves slugs

Toby the Garden Frog

This is photo of a nice big frog we found on the allotment. We've called it Toby, but we don't know if it's male or female. He (or she) just sat there one day long enough to take a photo. It's good to know that the allotment is frog friendly because we have seen him a few times or maybe one of his relatives.

We have no pond as yet but hope to have one soon to get more of his family to breed and hopefully eat all those slugs that seem to eat everything up in sight. Apparently there is a debate on whether frogs actually like eating slugs but we live in hope. Anyway its nice to know frogs are about the place.

If you have a photo of a garden frog in your garden or allotment send it attached to this >>email<< and we will publish it here.
