During my visit to Moore Nature Reserve a few days ago we spotted a toad crossing the road in front of us.
We stopped to pick it up and carried it into the reserve... close to ponds and of course safety.
I took the opportunity to capture a few clips with my camcorder.
My partner Mandy has no fear of handling wildlife and isn't frightened of getting pecked.
If you have time please visit and follow my new video blog " rambles with a camcorder " as I am trying to separate my video clips from my photo blog... many thanks.

The Toad was so happy, to have somebody help him across the road.
The toad looked sleepy. Must be the cold weather. Glad to see you are able to get out and about once again. Keep those knees warm. Did Mandy ever start her own blog?
Nice of you to rescue the toad and nice to have a willing partner!
Mandy is a brave one!
Very sweet of you to save the toad. Mandy is brave and a great helper with the photos.
What a nice pictures you have taken.
Have a nice day!
Oh, I love the toad video, Andrew. I rather think I might have done the same thing if wearing gloves, not sure I'd try it without.
I belong to an online writers' group called Imaginary Garden with Real Toads and the members refer to one another as "toads" so this is great!
I love the bird-feeding photos, too. I would love to have hands steady enough to feed wildlife, but mine shake a lot.

I've just watched your 'Twelve Months of Wildlife' Andrew - and subscribed to your clips. I only want to say that being able to watch Nature at work and play like this re-assures me that the world's OK, that humankind hasn't yet gobbled everything for itself. There's always hope, huh?
love the toad and happy you saved it.
Good for you guys!
Beautiful video Andrew, the toad is gorgeous and you saved her.
Greetings.
Lucky toad, to be spotted and rescued. Hope he continues to lead a happy toad life.
Nice video! The toad is a very interesting critter.
Mr Toad said you are heroes ~ Great video of 'saving the toad' ~ thanks, carol, xxx
Nice that you are up and about. Sometimes leaving the binoculars and the camera behind can lead to a most delightful view of nature. The hawk is beautiful.The partridge or game bird that walked by seems unperturbed by its presence.
Wonderful gestures.
Don't bite the hand that feeds you!!
Nice pictures.

I think there is some innate desire for close contact with wildlife and hand feeding birds certainly qualifies.
