Common toad amplexus.

Interesting for me: Toads often build a mating ball (multiple amplexus). The male in the background was joining the couple soon after I took this picture. There is much competition amongst males over access to females.

Well spotted. They don't seem to mind that you're being a voyeur.

Not one of my favourite subjects, we have far too many here.

Very nicely taken - love that you were able to catch toad#3, too.
