Toad Patrol The Perilous Path

As winter turns to spring , toads, frogs and newts across Britain begin their annual journey, making their way back to the ponds where they breed. For many, that journey means crossing busy roads and not all of them make it to the other side. In this episode of Wild Tales, we spend the night with the Charlcombe Lane Toad Patrol, discovering the dedication and determination it takes to give these remarkable animals a fighting chance.
