Bath Nature
Common Toad sitting in a road in Priston, near Bath. It seemed a bit stunned & may have been hit by a car, but after checking it over I could find no serious injury. I moved it to safety and it wandered off. Sadly, not all toads are this lucky, but several toad patrols operate around Bath in breeding season to help them out.

@rebecaarce A friend of mine has helped to organise one on the outskirts of Bath for many years - here's an article he wrote https://www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts/amphibians/toad-patrol
A few more have started up more recently

@BathNature thanks for the information. It's sad to see the toads be run over. Their nighttime singing has already begun in my area.
