| | | Small toad?
I have just found this little one in an old dark, damp outbuilding; body length about 40mm ish, dark brown and it was crawling around quite slowly. Looks like it's been through loads of cobwebs! Is it a small toad?

It's certainly a Common Toad! Looks like it's a bit stuck with spider webbing. |

I suppose it must have been hibernating in the shed, and just emerged from the cobwebs. Are they usually that small?

So it's a youngish one, that's good will keep an eye on it incase it gets completely lost in the cobwebs.

Has he still got cobwebs on him? maybe I'm wrong but wouldn't it be a good idea to gently wipe them off with a damp sponge, or would the stress of being handled or touched outweigh the good it did him?...Experts? |

They definitely were cobwebs, I did go back later and see if I could find it but it had gone walkabouts, hopefully to a nearby pond. I will keep my eyes open though incase it returns.
