I've got thousands of baby frogs this year. I get loads of common toads too. I talk to the big ones and tickle 'em under the chin. They come to my back door night after night and they love a bit of human company, as long as you talk to 'em. What's been a horrible cold, wet spring and June for us humans has been brilliant for amphibians. I found a dessicated newt in the bottom of a neglected plant pot, with the texture of a deep-fried sprat, all sort of stiff and dried out. Mournfully I dropped it into the pond. And guess what... (I don't even have to tell you, do I).
