Common toad, Bufo bufo.
Common Toads are Britain's largest and heaviest amphibians. The colour of the toad varies according to the colour of the soil in its habitat. If the soil is a greyish colour, the toads skin tends to be greyish to blend in. If the soil is more brownish, the toad tends to be more brownish. Being creatures of habit, you can often find them in the same spot week after week, but because they are able to blend in with their background, and remain motionless for hours at a time, they can be difficult to spot. Toads are easier to find in the springtime when they often walk for long distances across land to return to their breeding ponds. This is usually the original pond where they developed.
