Common Toad

July 3, 1996: Scottish Borders, Scotland

While driving after dark, there were dozens of amphibians hopping around on the roads. At first, I assumed they were frogs, but it turns out that Common Toads are more likely to be seen on the road, during their migration events. There were so many of them, and we were continually needing to swerve and slow down to avoid squishing them.
