Posing for the photographer

Posing for the photographer

This common toad (Bufo bufo), accompanied me on the stairs for a while. After posing for a few photos it scared off the cat, checked out the water supply and then decided to hide under the veranda. Try the original size if you don't suffer from Bufonophobia!

I don’t suppose you tried, Stefan, but that one could use a few kisses and be turned into something slightly more handsome… :)

Ha! I wasnt alone when I found the toad. My meighbour was there and I did ask her to kiss it but she refused...

Wow, that's some toad. Are these toads poisonous?

Ah, mistaken people, - it's frogs that turn into princes, not toads! ;)

That's good to know jilly! The common toad can defend it self using a toxic called Bufagin.
