Frogs and toads

Howard, Jules2019
Books, Manuscripts
They were bestowed with magical properties in folklore, they were sought after as ingredients of witches' broth, and they are comic characters that have invaded popular culture, from Kermit the Frog to Toad of Toad Hall. Frogs and toads are undoubtedly charismatic members of Britain's wildlife, but what do you really know about them? Scratch beneath the surface, and you will discover some of nature's weirdest creatures, amphibians whose ecology we are only now coming to understand. This is a compelling account of Britain's four native amphibian species: the Common Frog, the Pool Frog, the widespread Common Toad and the rare and secretive Natterjack Toad.
