Toad ??
Hello Friends,
I cannot find the right English word for this guy.
Never had such an animal in front of my lens this close.
I took it with my "pocket macro". A Zeiss 2,8/45 with adapter
and space tube on my 20D.
Just a handful of lens. Great performance.
C and C always welcome.
Thanks for looking.
Have fun.

That's a sharp and detailed close-up if ever there was one :cool:

Toad is the right word! (scientific name Bufo bufo). Very nice image with good detail.

Great colour and texture on this fine shot.

Nice find Bertl, looks like it's trying to find a bit of shade whilst foraging before they bed down until next season. As has been said, Toad is right, looks like a male to me.
