The Natterjack Toad

I was doing some gardening the other day and look what I dug up. They are extremely rare and were thought to be extinct in England at one point.

I'm 90 percent sure it is, the garden I was doing was in ainsdale in southport who have natterjack road walks. It was a lovely creature, didn't want to put him back.
