Annual Migration

March is the month that the toads cross this road, coming down from the South Cliffs to the pond that is formed from the hollow left on the site of an old brickworks.

There are two official road signs (frequently stolen) that identify this spot plus this unofficial sign.

On my way to take this photo I counted the remains of seven toads, rolled flat by car tyres.

I've always meant to check this stretch one night in March but never managed it. It would be good to see the toads on the move.
