A Common Lizard with Ticks

I took Ol'Jess out to Catcott Lows today to see what we could see... Blackcaps, Tree creepers and JCBs... And several Common Lizards basking in the sun, I was surprised to see Ticks on the Lizards, but it's not uncommon, they normally attach themselves to the body just behind the front legs...This poor little guy has got one in his ear.
