    The foot sticking up in the middle is pretty comical. Posted 5 years ago

          I've seen it a few times, generally try to seek out the known ponds or rivers, this is a new pond - won't be wet all year - part of a flood alleviation scheme - but the toads used to spawn in the beck (river) next to the pond. Went back today they were still procreating! Posted 5 years ago
