One of the largest Toads I think I've ever seen was a highlight of my BTO Heathland Bird Surveys last night on a quiet bog in Dorset. The surveys were made less quiet by the 18 Nightjar territories recorded in what seemed another super active evening on the heath! Amazing.

Thomas You're welcome, I did also have another sighting last Tuesday 1st July when I took this picture which I was meaning to send. Yeah it's been fascinating to get some semi regular sightings.
