The natterjack toad (Epidalea calamita) is a rare and protected amphibian in the UK, found in specific habitats such as sandy heaths, coastal dunes, and lowland grasslands. Known for its distinctive yellow stripe along its back and its loud, rasping call druing breeding, the natterjack toad is a conservation priority due to its limited distribution and vulnerability to habitat loss. Conservation efforts focus on maintaining suitable breeding ponds and surrounding terrestrial habitats to support its populations.
