Love lizards. They have such a defiant and curious stare. There were more when I was a kid, in the Caribbean. But I'm happy a few are still around.
A lizard in the hand is worth two birds in the bush, or something like that.
As every schoolboy knows, the common lizard (Zootoca vivipara) and slow worm (Anguis fragilis) are the only lizard species occurring naturally in Scotland.
This common lizard - likely a pregnant female - just climbed on to my hand and sat there, basking away, before I released it again.
Managed to see 6 of these today, all living up to their name, basking on the walls they live in. Really made my day... 4 months without lizards is more then enough for me.. so to see them a full month early was the perfect Winter tonic!
On Easter Monday we walked through the vineyard. It was a sunny morning so we "met" some lizards sunbathing between the stones of the dry stone walls.

The perentie (Varanus giganteus) is the largest monitor lizard or goanna native to Australia, and the fourth-largest living lizard on earth, after the Komodo dragon, water monitor, and the crocodile monitor. Found west of the Great Dividing Range in the arid areas of Australia, they are not a common sight because of their shyness and the remoteness of much of their range from human habitation.
Lizard Point, Cornwall
Lizard Point seen from near the Youth Hostel
Lizard Point (from Cornish: an Lysardh meaning "the high court") in Cornwall is at the southern tip of the Lizard Peninsula. It is situated half-a-mile (0.8 km) south of Lizard village in the civil parish of Landewednack and approximately 11 miles (18 km) southeast of Helston.
Lizard Point is the most southerly point on mainland Great Britain at 49° 57' 30" N.
With the exception of parts of the Isles of Scilly it is the southernmost part of England.
History and geography
Lizard Point is for many ships the starting point of their ocean passage and a notorious shipping hazard. The Lizard lighthouse is situated at Lizard Point. Immediately below the lighthouse, situated in what used to be a hotel is the YHA Lizard Youth Hostel. Lizard point is situated within Caerthillian to Kennack SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest), noted for its biological and geological interest.
The area is famous for its carved serpentine items,[4] which range from ornaments to the pump handles in the local public house; the Lizard Inn. The geology of Lizard is fascinating, with a number of planned walks available from local tourist authorities in order to discover more about the local rocks.
The first sighting of the Spanish Armada on mainland Britain was off Lizard Point at 3 pm on 29 July 1588.
This was one of the greatest invasion fleets in history and consisted of 120 ships armed with over 1,000 cannon and with 29,000 men on board.
The Battle at the Lizard, a naval battle, took place off The Lizard on 21 October 1707.
Sinking of Ardgarry
The bulk coaster carrier MV Ardgarry (1957) was lost in a heavy storm, in over 30ft (9m) high waves, off Lizard Point on 29 December 1962. All 12 crewmen perished and were never found.[9] She was built by James Lamont & Co at the Port Glasgow shipyard, and was 221-feet long and weighed 1,074-tons gross.
The Ardgarry was carrying coal from Swansea and headed to Rouen in France. Six of the crew were from Northern Ireland, five from Scotland, and one from the Donegal in the Republic of Ireland. Found again in 2006, the ship's bell was recovered, and a memorial service was held by family members in August 2008. All of the crewmen's families were there except one, First Engineer William Shumacher, of Brougham Street, Greenock. No trace of his family has been found.
Bugaled Breizh sinking
On 15 January 2004 the French fishing trawler Bugaled Breizh (child of Brittany) was sunk off Lizard Point with the loss of five lives. There were claims at the time by French marine accident experts that the vessel may have been pulled under when her nets became entangled in a British or Dutch submarine which was conducting NATO exercises in the area at the time.
Lifeboat service
The Lizard lifeboat station
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) operates The Lizard lifeboat station at Kilcobben Cove,[16][17] two miles (3 km) northeast of Lizard Point. A Tyne class lifeboat is housed in a large boathouse at the base of the cliff. The station features a funicular line to transport lifeboat crews from the boathouse to the clifftop station car park.
The biggest rescue in the RNLI's history was 17 March 1907 when the 12,000 tonne liner SS Suevic hit the Maenheere Reef near Lizard Point. In a strong gale and dense fog RNLI lifeboat volunteers rescued 456 passengers, including seventy babies. Crews from The Lizard, Cadgwith, Coverack and Porthleven rowed out repeatedly for sixteen hours to rescue all of the people on board. Six silver RNLI medals were later awarded, two to Suevic crew members.
