The UK’s loudest amphibian – the natterjack toad – has made a “remarkable comeback” in the South Downs National Park following a conservation project to provide suitable habitats for the noisy creature.

A total of 28 toadlets have been counted at Blackmoor, Hampshire, following the reintroduction programme which started in 2021.

This is the first time that natterjack toads have been recorded breeding at the site in 50 years.
