Common toad Harilik kärnkonn Bufo bufo
On Saturday evening, I had the opportunity to keep company with a toad gentleman at an evening meal that started at half past five and lasted almost an hour and a half.
Why a male? The individual was some eleven centimetres long, smart and dignified. Somehow I did not want to class the creature as a female because old females may be even larger than fifteen centimetres in body length and, as fits dignified ladies, appropriately portly.

Hello again, dear crane friends!
In my crane tale on September 4th I predicted that „Hauka 3“ with a GPS probably would not migrate further from Latvia, but that was a mistake!
After a resting pause of four days he started the migration again on September 8th in the morning in a south-south-southeasterly direction and by midnight on the same day reached the northwestern corner of Belarus where he stayed on September 9th too. But I think that he will move from there in the near future a little more towards southeast to the Miory marsh area where many of our cranes with transmitters have stayed earlier too for longer periods on their autumn migration.
