As part of a healthy garden we try and encourage lots of different types of wildlife. Having a water source, however small, can be a great help to insects, amphibians and mammals.

Hopefully it likes its new home!

Although called the common toad, their population is declining, particularly in South East England.  If you’d like to find out more about amphibian habitat and what you can do in your own garden, take a look at the advice from the Natural History Museum.
