A young Common Toad

Took my son out to some local ponds in Cwmbran, South Wales to try and get some photos of birds to encourage him to recognise and capture them (with a camera!). Not many around so went chasing after the countless Damsels.

I came across an old tree stump in the shady undergrowth and spotted a young Toad (A Common, I believe) sitting on the moss covering it.

Taken with a 70~300mm at 300mm and F5.6, hand held, leaning against a small tree trunk.
Shutter speed was around 320th of a second.

PVL. Thanks for all comments. Kevin
