Toad patrol volunteers helped almost 10,000 animals cross a road last year, volunteer say.
The Toads on Roads Patrol is a group of volunteers going out every night between January and March to Hawkridge Reservoir on the Quantocks in Somerset to carry toads, frogs and newts over the road.
The group is part of the part of the Froglife national patrol programme and is continuing to help with the crossings this year.
Scott Passmore, who lives in Spaxton and runs the group, said: “We live in the village and this is on our door step. Every year, up to 10,000 animals cross the road and it takes just one car to come down and there’s a lot of casualties on the road.”
