The common toad moves quite slowly, either by walking or via short shuffling jumps. They are slower than their close relation, the frog, which can make road crossing particularly hazardous.
Toad spawning season is between January and late April each year, which means during this period hundreds, maybe thousands of the little rascals will be making the crucial crossing on roads leading into this iconic venue.
