Blog #5 Wet and warm conditions spark a toad/frog migration

Its a frustrating time of year for frogs and toads. They wait for warmer weather, it's normally anything above 5c that will prompt their journey to the nearest pond. So over at Moore Nature Reserve the toads and frog waited for warmer nights to arrive. During late Feb the weather warmed up and the frogs and toads took their chances. Here are some pictures from the migration. Myself and Nez along with a few other people without a social life were on hand to help them over the road to the pond. In total over a weeks migration over 500 had a bucket ride across the road to safety.
