The toads come from all directions to the pond near the bus stop. Very few toads were seen in 2023 and 2024, no reason is known for the sharp drop in numbers. We will run a reduced patrol in 2025 and observe if numbers recover.

The farmer has cut slots through the bank on Hethersett Rd but the toads still seem determined to walk all the way up the road to the T junction, which exposes them to the worst of the traffic. It is thought that toads retrace the steps that they took when they first left the pond as toadlets. We possess three fixed signs that can be erected on the the three roads leading to the pond, once the migration starts.
The Postcode is NR9 3BG. Please park at the locations shown by a P on the picture to the left (click to enlarge). It is possible to get two cars on the driveway to the pumping station that lies to the East of the last house.
