RARE natterjack toads have returned to Lancashire after more than 10 years, due to a successful ecological project.
The Environment Agency, English Nature and the Harpetological Society combined forces to reintroduce the toads to a salt marsh in Cockerham.
The species, distinguished by a yellow stripe on their backs, had not been seen in the area since 1987.
