Amphibian and Reptile Groups of the UK - ARG UK
Please help and share! Arguably, one of the great sights of nature is the mass movement of tiny amphibians, when baby toads (or metamorphs) leave their breeding ponds and, for a few brief hours, move as a massive group to their new terrestrial feeding grounds. Sometimes we see a few toadlets, sometimes we see many hundreds or even thousands. We are collecting sightings to try and understand what triggers this mass exodus, how long it lasts, and how important it is for the sustainability of local toad populations. This will help us to understand this vulnerable life stage a little better, and help us to provide better advice to land managers to protect them.
You can upload your sightings to our special 'Travelling Toadlets' online portal:
