Juvenile Common Lizard - 7_4621_1
Purely by chance I came across two baby Common Lizards when out walking last weekend in a place that I just hadn't expected them to be. After looking at Wales Birder's fantastic images a day or so before and having been out a few times previously and not finding any, I just happened to look down at a broken limb from a fallen tree on one of my regular dog walking routes and couldn't believe my eyes. I've never seen one before let alone babies. This one is about 60mm long all in so not that easy to spot. Apparently, unlike the Sand Lizard, female Common Lizards hold their eggs internally and give birth to live young. Not the best of shots but my first for these little beauties. Better viewed large.....press 'L' if you have time. :))
