There's at least sort of 50 or so patrollers, toad patrollers, and they have their hivers on and they have their buckets and they wander down the road and just wait for the toads and amphibians to come. And they tend to come on slightly warm, damp evenings. So that's the best time. And sometimes it's just remarkable. There's just so many all over the place. Wherever you look, there's a toad.
