Green European Toads trying to hide ....

... using the camouflage trick while they have a cuddle, but we spotted them in a restaurant garden. We hear these creatures, or others like them, all the time but never see them usually.
Now battening down the hatches for a big storm, toads don't care but we are on our plastic hulled boat which sounds like being inside a banging drum in the rain! the rigging is already groaning. Good night.
