It was carnage on Smallbrook Road last night. Toad patrollers rescued 183 toads, frogs and newts but over 23% were killed by motorists (we couldn’t count them all). At 9:30 pm one idiot drove way over 30 mph along Smallbrook Road and into Lower Marsh Road killing someone’s very beautiful and exotic looking cat. We had to jump into the hedge. If the big female toads like this one are killed every year then the population keeps on dropping. No biodiversity, no sustainability. You have blood on your hands and on your wheels.
