I believe that this is a tiny toad. I nearly stood on it as it jumped in front of me as I was walking along the boarded walkway at Cley. If it wasn't for the bright colouring I probably wouldn't have seen it.I have never seen one this colour before.
Could any of you confirm that it is a toad?

Thanks Dave

Hi, I'm not an expert but I looked at the picture and thought "toad". I believe they tend to have warts unlike common frogs.

I've also been told that if it jumps it's a frog, if its more of a crawl then it's a toad.

Glad to see when I scrolled down that everyone else thinks it's a toad.

cheers
