Toad patrol: Helping toads across the road this spring

As the weather starts to warm up, toads, frogs and newts are beginning to make their way back to the ponds they were born in to mate and lay frogspawn.

They follow the same route every year and most make their journey over March and April.

Their journey can be pretty dangerous though if they have to hop across roads.

There are some places across the country that close roads to help keep the amphibians safe, but other places have volunteers carrying out 'Toad Patrols'.

That's where volunteers help them across the road with buckets and nets to help them across the road.
