I confess I added the penny to this shot to add a sense of scale. Being very frugal, I quickly retrieved the penny after the minuscule toad hopped away. .

Thanks for looking!

It would make a beautiful photo even without the penny

That must be a very small toad. Well seen and captured. Don't be frugal with the magnification though.

Very cute toad and apparently he's quite frugal.

Hi

Good eyes to spot this wee one in the first place and a fun shot with the penny working well to show size

All the best
Matthew

That is one small toad. They are so much fun to see at this size. Well done and the penny really gives you a sense of how small they are.

Nice one! Good sense of scale - and you didn't leave any litter!
