Baby Sand Lizard
Baby Sand Lizard
Lovely to see another generation of these rare little lizards, I've seen a few baby ones over my travels......and as young ones should do....off at the slightest movement. But with the late heatwave we've been having this little one didn't want to give up it's sun spot.
As you can see it's already lost the tip of it's tail.....so somewhere something got the tail end of it :-)
Sorry.......I'm a master at lame jokes.
It's sun spot may have been a little out in the open but it had the added bonus of being an open air drive through for ants........so it had on tap take-away without having to move.
People ask me how I see them.......but I don't do anything special!
Luck plays a part......I've seen way more scurrying away than I've ever captured :-)
But one thing I will say........nearly all the lizard shots I've posted I've never had stepped to step away from the heathland or coastal paths to see them. Like rabbits many do seem to like the edges to paths for sunning and feeding.
Only minutes before a horse rider had rode past me.....so this one was lucky it wasn't on the path.
