A young woman has been teased as "Toad Girl" in her community for saving thousands of amphibians trying to cross a road during mating season.
Hayley Watson, 30, loves the creatures so much she visits the rural road several times each week to collect the toads into a bucket as they try to move past cars to a pond.
Without her help, as many as 500 toads are thought to die each night in mating season at the spot in Hexham, Northumberland.
