Now where do you suppose I found this toad this morning?In the fish pond? No, guess again. In the shrubbery, where it might be gainfully employed eating snails? Not a chance.
Oh, but you knew all along, of course. In the morning sunshine, the toad floated in the middle of the swimming pool, and I swear it twitched in recognition and chagrin when it saw me.
Once again I scooped Toad out with the net and this time I didn't bother taking him/her to the fish pond. It's close enough to hibernation weather that the little pest will want to burrow in somewhere anyway.
