Identify beige frog for me

I'm new to this site, just joined today. I have a very strange frog in my garden, I'm trying to catch if for photo purposes but it's just too quick for me. It is no bigger than a one pence piece, totally beige, and is formed just like a frog. Never seen anything like it before. Any ideas?

Sounds like a juvenile common toad or common frog.

Thank you, if I can catch it I will and take a pic. Trouble is, it's so tiny and the gravel on my garden is almost the same colour as it! I'll be sure to take my camera out with me when I'm gardening.
Thanks again
Dianne

Hello, I have had a beige frog living in my garden for about two years -

thought I would try and find out why he/she is that colour.

I have been told that it is due to climate change?

Any here is the latest picture in lbrary images, taken about an hour ago.

Sorry for the user name, I thought I was entering my password - anyone know how I can change it?

Regards

Denis

Ps Bad news - the beige frog has passed away.
returned home late afternoon and he /she was lying in my water feature.
