Their breeding habitat is open gravel areas near freshwater, including gravel pits, river edges and reservoir margins, where they nest on the ground on stones.

Every year in early Spring common toads migrate across the site from the woodlands where they live most of the year, to find ponds and drainage ditches where they can breed safely.
