How weird but this morning on the way to work I just randomly thought “huh I haven’t seen a toad for a while”. True story.
Rename it to the uncommon toad then. Problem solved.
Unsurprising sadly. Other than “fields”, which are used for farming. The UK doesn’t have vast amounts of nature aside from either small pockets or vast open spaces devoid of woodlands/forests.
Even the large forests that remain tend to be so heavily trodden with footfall that nature is struggling.
Keep in mind, toads aren’t a protected species like Great Crested Newts (although they frequently share habitats), and this decline has happened even with the current environmental regs.
Since it seems like Labour are looking looking to slash the environmental “red tape”, to appease reform voters, this is only going to get worse.
We’re going to be a sad, sterile island soon. Kids will only see most species in picture books.
They aren’t uncommon, it’s just they have all concentrated into a single habitat called Reform

This is the end of everything,’… ‘at least it is the end of the career of Toad, which is the same thing; the popular and handsome Toad, the rich and hospitable Toad, the Toad so free and careless and debonair!
Frankly this is bollocks, I can’t stop seeing toads for love nor money! And I do my absolute best to not see them! Everytime I go onto my phone, listen to the radio or watch TV nothing but toad.
