Quick answer
Unless the animal is in danger you do not need to move it or do
anything for it.
Further information
Amphibians spend the majority of their life on land and are
often found in gardens, sometimes hundreds of metres from the
nearest waterbody.
Common frogs are frequently found in urban areas and gardens are
an important amphibian habitat in their own right.
If the animal is trapped or in danger - e.g. you've found it
near a road or in a part of the garden you're working on -
release it into a nearby suitable habitat or another part of the
garden. Choose somewhere that provides cover from predators and extreme weather,
such as in a compost heap, underneath a garden shed or
near/underneath dense foliage; it does not need to be in a pond.
If your garden does not seem 'amphibian-friendly' move the
animal to your neighbour's garden or the nearest suitable
habitat. Try not to move the animal more than a mile from where
you found it. You may like to think about making your garden
more beneficial for amphibians.
