Western Fence Lizard - at the Santa Barbara Botanical Garden, they were like California's version of squirrels. They were everywhere! Since the adult has a brilliant blue abdomen, they're also know as a Blue Belly.
I just could not get close to the birds at Thursley today,but the Lizards were quite happy to be photographed while basking in the sun. Taken with my Sigma 50-500mm Macro lens !!
So this is what I witnessed from my breakfast table while eating. Apparently when lizards do the business - - it must nearly kill them and drain the life (and color) out of them! The picture on the right looks like they are near dead and shriveled up. Later, I saw the green anole and his color had returned.
I attempted to research this online but did not find any sort of documentation on this crazy occurrence…DOES ANYONE OUT THERE KNOW??
Spotted by my wife whilst we were out on a walk thisafternoon with my new toy (Tamron 150-600!). The lens has needed fine tuning since my initial outing (I collected it this morning) as there was a slight back focus, but that could be my camera. I will try to catch up with you all very soon but tomorrow I'm off to see the Chichester Cathedral peregrines, so forgive me if I'm a little behind with your images. I am looking at them but will catch up with comments soon. I hope you all have a great weekend in the sunshine (if you have it...)
