I went to clean the filter of my garden pond this morning, and found it already occupied! I am so pleased to see a (endangered) leopard toad enjoying the pond. It's been so hot and dry around here, it must be a relief to it to find a sheltered watery spot.

A bit later I saw it swimming in a deeper part of the pond. Makes me so happy.
