She climbed the wall to get to the lake with him on her back, I gave them a lift over the road just in case.

He's tiny in comparison to her, isn't he!!

That's a wonderful picture you've taken there Jim - many thanks for showing it to us. Well done on keeping them safe too.

Yeah... I think you need to be in the right place at the right time LOL. This would appear to be the best time of year to come across them.

I once saw hundreds of tiny frogs/toads heading for somewhere in the middle of a thick forest. They were right across the path and it was difficult not to tread on one.
