A 'cluster' of five brown frogs (toads?) are living in the drain for the showers and hand wash basins from the two bathrooms of the house. They emerge onto the lawn in the evening - presumably to feed on insects - but spend the entire day submerged or semi-submerged in the water in the drain. There are more in another drain too... The bigger specimens are 100mm long and approx. 50-60mm wide and the smaller ones seem to be about half that size. They are a dull brown in colour with darker markings on their backs. I have been reliably informed by a long-time local that these are toads...
