This is the toad who lives in my greenhouse 🐸

Seems like a very strange (sometimes very hot) place for a toad to want to live in but it’s been there for well over three months now. I have to be very careful when hoeing between the plants because it’s often completely buried in a well-camouflaged burrow which occasionally moves location.
I’ve been trying to get a better photograph but it’s fairly timid and makes a dash for cover whenever it notices me 😄

South Wales Fire Service helicopter carrying water has been repeatedly flying back and forth over our house all day today (still going now at 7pm and I think I first saw it about 8am).
According to Natural Resources Wales there’s a wildfire in Gethin Forest between Merthyr Tydfil and Aberdare, just over the side of the valley from us 🔥😟
