In regards to the statement about the wet weather bringing them out to hunt. This sounds like it may be the case as previously we had very harsh sunlight for a few days!

I sit and watch all the Toads (and a few Frogs now) ambling about in the heavy rain. The most fascinating are the ones that come up through the gaps in my drive, it is difficult to believe that a big fat Toad can emerge from such a small gap. Watch for Heron picking them out of long wet grass.

Frog larvae have golden speckles with a long tapering tail. | frog tadpoles are more carnivorous than toad tads as well and toad tads like to live in shoals.
