Helping the toad migration...

We got up very early the other morning (6.30am!) to get to Holyrood Park in Edinburgh to join the rangers of Historic Scotland for the migration of the toads in the park.  My kids just loved it!  We went searching for toads that were a bit exposed and open to crows having them for breakfast!

We helped gather the toads and put them into buckets and then helped release them into the water.










We then made our way back to the education centre to cut out some toads and make lovely toad-y crafty things.  What a lovely and different way to spend a morning!  Many thanks to Historic Scotland for letting us be part of this!
