Bob Ford's Video Blog

Higher Hyde Heath
Sunday June 17th 2018



The paths in the first part of this Dorset Wildlife Trust reserve were literally alive with tiny frogs this morning. Actually they may be tiny toads as a friend has commented that she saw lots of toad spawn here earlier in the year.



This video of an adult toad was filmed four years ago at Compton Acres in Bournemouth.
