What are you going to do when the SUN COMES OUT!

When the sun comes out I'm going to stop reading this and get outside. I think I may be in luck right about now.

Not at all Mike, you'll always be welcome anytime. Just having a bit of fun, that's all. I hope nobody's too disappointed. And I called them kittens too, they are cubs of course.

If I were ever to be able to have a big cat, it'd be a cheetah.

I'm not sure I should be contributing to this thread anyway, I spend most days waiting for the sun to go down

"Knowledge is knowing that a Tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to use it in a fruit salad."

The sun came out, so I decided to do the garden. Saw a frog/toad...I'm no expert. I decided to photograph him. Rushed indoors; upstairs; got the camera; changed the lens; rushed downstairs; rushed outdoors; rushed indoors; got the battery and the SD card; rushed downstairs; rushed outside. During all this the little frog waited patiently. I'm thinking of training him to be a guard frog!

Here is as distant cousin of your frog / toad; they are such cool guys ..jeff..

You'd better get the book "How to train guard toads" then, because that's what he/she is.

It looks like a Common Toad (Bufo bufo)

It's definitely a frog, but he's a very warty one!

It's a common Frog. I've got dozens of them.

Toads are much more wrinkly.

It seems its a frog then.

In my defence, my book, "Complete Mediterranean Wildlife" by Paul Sterry, has an animal looking more like the frog, but under the heading 'Common Toad'.

Should've asked a 'frogherder' first.
