Warm weather has brought out the lizards on wallsalong the seafront at Holywell, Eastbourne.
I believe this is a European Wall Lizard.
I found this tiny lizard on our kitchen floor the other night -- something that happens two or three times a year, always with baby lizards, never adults. They either wander in when we leave the door open, or hitch a ride on our big fuzzy dog after he's been outside rooting around in the garden (we've actually seen this happen). The babies are thinner than a pencil at this age.
Another sand lizard shot from last weekend. This shows the lovely markings of the male in full breeding colours.
Also known as the "Jesus Christ Lizard" because when startled, it can run so fast that it will run across water. The normal crest seems to be lowered or none prominent in this specimen.
Again, In Monteverde, Costa Rica... While waiting for the zipline... i also went to their lizard and snake exhibits... and there was this lizard... i felt so sorry for it cuz it was trying so hard to get out of it's exhibit... but it did make for a nice pic...
The path is not easy for a lizard -
It's easy to be left without a tail,
After all, anyone of great stature
Strives to catch him by the tail.
Thank you very much for your visits, faves and comments.

Abbotsbury.
It was first recorded here as an introduced species way back in 1890 and it continues to thrive today. It may only be second to the Ventnor colony on the Isle-of-Wight in terms of age established.

I was unsure of the ID of this lizard so I posted this image with North American Field Herping Association on Facebook and I received a comment from one of the members that it is a Sagebrush Lizard. One of the key field characteristics is the black bar in front of the legs which is absent in Western Fence Lizards.
Lizard Orchid / himantoglossum hircinum. Leicestershire. 17/06/20.
'BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU TREAD.'
This single, diminutive Lizard Orchid caused much interest last summer when it was discovered growing on a roadside verge in Leicestershire. Experienced botanists speculated it was between 3-5 years old and, having attained the height of 13cms, was typical of a first time flowering Lizard Orchid.
I was told where it grew yet even so, once in the general area, it took a lot of painstaking searching to find. Sadly, some days after making my images it met it's fate in the form of a misplaced foot. I've heard it got trampled to a pulp so we will never know how it would have gone on to develop in future years.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
