Amphibians and Reptiles 13 - Natterjack Toads 1

                                                 NATTERJACK TOAD Bufo calamita

• A tiny Natterjack Toadlet is seen coming to terms with a complete change of environment as it enters the terrestrial phase of its life and explores the sand dunes of North West England. The apparently enormous grains of sand and the nearby ground beetle exoskeleton give a good idea of scale here. There is little evidence of the yellow dorsal stripe which readily distinguishes the adult Natterjack from the closely related (and much more successful) Common Toad.
