Subject Info The Natterjack Toad is a rare and protected amphibian in Britain and is associated with coastal dune ponds. It has been re-introduced in a number of areas where it is usually only active at night. In early spring evenings and into the night, the males can be heard croaking as they compete with each to attract a mate. |
