Natterjacks are said to be Europe's loudest amphibian; the call of a male in the mating season can be heard over several kilometres.

The old tale claiming that, if you touch a toad you'll get warts, is completely false.

When threatened natterjacks inflate themselves so they appear bigger.

The Natterjacks latin name Bufo calamita which means "Running toad", due to the fact that it runs rather than hops.

The collective noun for a group of toads is a Knot!

Raining Toads! Not as daft as it sounds. There are numerous recorded cases in modern times of frogs and toads being swept into the air in violent storms only be dropped in the rain some distance away.
