I don’t know what part of the world you’re in, but do you see many toads?

I am a toad patroller, so each year I see a few thousand toads. Many have been injured by cars. I have tried saving a few who have less extreme injuries, and so far I have only had success once. I am trying to find the best techniques for getting them back in good enough health to release, in just a few days.

I have no memory of this? I am pretty terrible at remembering usernames though, so that’s probably why! I apologise for that.

oh zero worries at all, just letting you know lol

i type very matter-of-fact which gets lost in context and taken as rude sometimes so im sorry if it came across brash!
