If you have a wildlife friendly garden it is always difficult to do any substantial amounts of maintenance or alterations without disturbing something. In the winter, creatures are hibernating or hiding from the worst of the weather; then suddenly, it's spring and the birds are nesting.
thats the strange thing about this toad, he did not just come back, he had been interred under the slabs for about 5 years,
if we had not decided to alter that end of the pond then i dont know how much longer he would have survived there, as there was no possible entry or exit from where he was found, due to the stone wall and capping slabs being cemented firmly in place, with no gaps at all,

lucky just is not the right word for him,
