We were uncovering an area of our vegetable patch recently that we had protected with some black plastic and underneath were two slow worms and a toad.

No doubt they were enjoying the protection and warmth that the plastic might have offered plus a (seemingly) unlimited supply of slugs and snails that always seem to inhabit that area.

They were all moved to a place of safety. Lovely to see these understandably shy creatures.
