Looking out for toads


As Church Road hits Latchmere Lane and turns sharply north toward Ham Gate there is a stark warning that we may encounter toads (not frogs as I first thought). I suspect we are meant to worry more about their safety more than our own but as I have never encountered any there I cannot comment on their ferocity.

    Hi,
    You might (or not!) be interested to know that this to warn you of toads crossing: they return to the same place to breed year after year, often in large numbers. Even if a road gets in the way...
