Re: frogs/ toads question

hi there again toads do not need the pond untill they are going to breed they can live for up to 50 years if you found this toad coming thruogh your garden it well be on its way back to its breeding pond they can travel as much as 5 miles from there pond and will only return to the pond that they were born in
they are becoming very rare now and need our help where ever possible

try and keep your ponds for wildlife its better rthan a fish pond by far
if they are at ground level newts and frogs can get in and out easyer
than a raised pond but frogs and newts do climb and will find water best time to see newts and frogs is in march to june and go out to the pond with torch in the evening on a wet warm night during these months .

where abouts in england are you i am in the south and get frogs newts in my ponds .
