Went for a short walk through Aitken Wood yesterday, and happened upon this fella on the way past Lower Black Moss reservoir. As far as my eyes can tell it's a Common Toad (bufo bufo). Further up the path were another pair, seized with sexy spring madness and copulating in a most inappropriate and dangerous place. Thrill-seekers, obviously.
