Common Lizard DSC_0603
Common Lizard / zootoca vivipara. Strumpshaw Fen, Norfolk. 08/06/17.
One of a thriving colony of Common Lizards living beneath the boardwalk at Strumpshaw Fen. Nice to be able to get down to its level and watch it closely. Its prehistoric-looking eyes pivoted in all directions as it waited for insects to land. When any did, it darted forward rapidly to snatch them up in its mouth.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
