Henley Toad Patrol saves thousands from road crossing dangers

The process involves volunteers collecting toads in buckets to carry them across the road.

“It starts around the beginning of February and normally starts to slow down and end by the start of April.”

She said the males would be “cuddling” the female and travel on their backs as they carry them across.

“We have to have two buckets – we have to have a bucket for the mating pair and then we have a bucket for the singles,” Milly said.

“Although they’re probably [thinking] ‘what’s happening?’, we save them quite a long trip and we save them those dangers.”
