Do you know of a toad crossing in #Cambridgeshire that needs our help? Toads are now on their annual migration and at risk of being run over by cars or being obstructed by obstacles. #ToadsOnRoads #TheGrateEscape #ToadTuesday @wildlifebcn @CCI_Cambridge @CCF_Tweets @froglifers

For #FrogFriday this week, I want to share a photo of a midwife toad myself and @Mark_J_Goodman found a few years ago, where the tadpoles can be seen developing in the eggs. How amazing is that!? #Herpetology #Amphibians #Toads Handled under licence.

Volunteers from Barnwell meet with buckets, flashlights, and high-vis jackets to make sure that the toads get to the Lake where they can breed cambridge-news.co.uk/news/ca…

Cambridge residents go on 'toad patrol' nightly to help amphibians get to lake

Toads make the journey from their hibernation spots to a Cambridge lake each year between February and April so that they can breed and spawn in the water
