Common Chameleon

A common or European chameleon (Chamaeleo chamaeleon) in a small pine tree on the margin of the Salina Reserve.

 

Over the past three years I have spent hours scanning pine trees in Malta and the Algarve for these lizards with no success. This time I was walking along a car park on the edge of Salina when a brief glance turned up this specimen. Possibly the most laid-back lizard I've ever encountered!
