Common toads are tail-less amphibians that have warty skin with distinct elongated bulges behind their eyes, called parotoid glands. Common toads tend to walk rather than jump.
Common Toads and widespread throughout almost all areas of the British Isles
Common toads spend most of their time on land, only occasionally going into water.
Unlike the common frogs, which lay their spawn in clumps, common toads produce strings of spawn with double rows of eggs.
