In some parts of the world we protect our wildlife :-)
Weekend before last by beloved and I went out for a meal in Henley and part way along the road from Marlow we came across lots of people with hi-vis jackets along both sides of about a 300 yard stretch of the road.
On the way back they were still there, this time with torches as well and this time we saw the buckets and realised they were the toad patrol.
There is a stretch where the toads traditionally travel across the 4155 between the river Thames and the marshy bits on the other side, and each year the local Rotary Club organises a protection squad to make sure as many as possible make it across rather than get squashed.
