Not at all Mike, you'll always be welcome anytime. Just having a bit of fun, that's all. I hope nobody's too disappointed. And I called them kittens too, they are cubs of course.

If I were ever to be able to have a big cat, it'd be a cheetah.

I'm not sure I should be contributing to this thread anyway, I spend most days waiting for the sun to go down

The sun came out, so I decided to do the garden. Saw a frog/toad...I'm no expert. I decided to photograph him. Rushed indoors; upstairs; got the camera; changed the lens; rushed downstairs; rushed outdoors; rushed indoors; got the battery and the SD card; rushed downstairs; rushed outside. During all this the little frog waited patiently. I'm thinking of training him to be a guard frog!

You'd better get the book "How to train guard toads" then, because that's what he/she is.

It looks like a Common Toad (Bufo bufo)

It's definitely a frog, but he's a very warty one!

It's a common Frog. I've got dozens of them.

Toads are much more wrinkly.

It seems its a frog then.

In my defence, my book, "Complete Mediterranean Wildlife" by Paul Sterry, has an animal looking more like the frog, but under the heading 'Common Toad'.
