This is the toad who lives in my greenhouse 🐸

Toad on soil under the leaves of a tomato plant

Seems like a very strange (sometimes very hot) place for a toad to want to live in but it’s been there for well over three months now. I have to be very careful when hoeing between the plants because it’s often completely buried in a well-camouflaged burrow which occasionally moves location.

I’ve been trying to get a better photograph but it’s fairly timid and makes a dash for cover whenever it notices me πŸ˜„
