Kissing a Toad

Well, I did not actually kiss it, but I was so relieved to finally come across an interesting visitor in our garden, that I could almost kiss it! We had a very wet, harsh winter and did not spend a lot of time outdoors looking for wildlife.
This little guy is called a Raucous Toad, with the very nice Afrikaans name of the Lawaaipadda. A big thank you to Cape Nature who identified it for me. The name deriving form their loud continual call comprises short, rasping duck-like quacks, repeated incessantly at about two per second.
