		Common Toads congregate at breeding ponds in early April but for the rest of the year will wander well away from water as they are far more tolerant of dry conditions than the Common Frog.
		Their life cycle is similar to that of the Common Frog, spawn is laid in strings (not clumps like the Common Frog) and the tadpoles are fl and often move about in shoals.

	Lizard comparison
		At least 21 adult Wall Lizards, Podarcis muralis, were spotted on the flint wall of the Old Fort, Shoreham Beach, basking in the sunshine and displaying far more energy that I had ever seen before with one lizard skitting right up to the top of the wall.
		The "Wall" Lizards occupy the habitat referred to, but they only occupy the lower levels and show a complete absence of basking on the higher levels usually within 30 cm on the grass below, and exceptionally one metre from the bottom of the wall, where a crevice is available.
		If they are foreign lizards they have been there longer than the accidental release in the 1990s and may have come from the adjacent wharves.

		The most common species in the Arizona Upland subdivision is the regal horned lizard (P. solare), which frequents rocky or gravelly habitats of arid to semiarid plains, hills and lower mountain slopes.

		Initially, the lizard uses the scales on the front edge of its lower jaw to literally cut into the earth as it vibrates its head into the ground.
