On my semi secret insect hunting ground! There's lots of 2 ft x 2 ft square tarpaulin mats laying around with a label saying..reptile survey going on.
Going back too the ground several times now, it seems there's an abundant of Lizards, Snakes, and Slowworms.
Had a bit of a test of wills with this little Lizard, it was sunning itself on one of the mats and would scamper back into the long grass each time I got near.
Not sure laying in the long wet grass, with bits of dead rabbit, and poo, was worth it! ;-)

Common Basilisk (Basiliscus basiliscus). Aka The Jesus Christ Lizard for its abaility to run over water.
Eidechse am Wegrand, geniesst genauso wie wir die warmen Sonnenstrahlen.
Unterbrechung der Ungarn-Reise-Fotos für die Ergebnisse der heutigen Ausgang mit dem Hund, gefallen mir selbst zu gut um sie bis nach den Ferien wegzusperren ; )

Lizard on the wayside, just as we enjoy the warm sunshine.
Interruption of the Hungary-travel-photos for the results of today's output from the dog-walk, like them too well to lock away it until after the holidays; )

Large adult male Collared Lizard in Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. This is the state lizard of Oklahoma and they are also known as "Mountain Boomers". I have always wanted to see one of these, and by the end of the second day I had seen at least a dozen individuals. The "Dog Run Hollow" trail is an eight mile circuit that starts at French Lake, and it was on that trail where I saw this lizard. Crotaphytus collaris
We saw loads of lizards and heard countless more scurrying off while we were out walking in the Florentine hills
Convinced that it would be protected by crypsis, the baby horned lizard remained motionless in the dusty road near the Grand Canyon.
Sirmione at the Garda lake, Italy. A lot of lizards crawling around. This one was about 15cm long i think, and was climbing up a wall. I just managed to take this close-up before it ran away.
This Eastern Glass Lizard was missing the end of its tail. When attacked the fragile tail breaks into pieces like glass shattering, thus the name. Each piece continues to move which distracts the predator allowing the lizard to scurry away. It will take over a year to grow a new tail. Cape Point, Cape Hatteras National Seashore, Dare County, North Carolina.
This guy was perfectly posed for a picture but I didn't have the camera. I went in and got it only to get one chance at a photo.
This neatly-patterned Lizard Buzzard was in the same area as the heron. You can just barely see the diagnostic black throat stripe in this shot.

Gallotia galloti (Tenerife Lizard or Western Canaries Lizard) is a lacertid (wall lizard) species of the genus Gallotia. It is found on the Canary Islands of Tenerife and La Palma.
Unlike most larger species of its genus, the Western Canaries Lizard as a whole is a common animal. As it likes to eat ripe fruit, it can even become a nuisance in vineyards and orchards and is thus occasionally trapped or poisoned. Local populations thus may decline, but no subspecies currently are endangered. (Wikipedia)
There were lots of lizards sunning themselves at the edges of the boardwalk - really tiny ones, medium ones and the largest I saw was about the length of my index finger. Quite sensitive to noise - several got this alert look when I released the shutter.
I found this beautiful lizard in Botanic Garden in Canberra and I had a chance to capture this shot.
One of many reasonably sized lizards in Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument in Southern Utah.
In Bournemouth yesterday, managed multi task and cover two loves, took my mum for lunch for mothers day...............but took her for lunch near where I could find some lizards!
Mum happy.......me happy........the lizards had nothing to say!
I was lucky to find three types, Common, Wall, and Green.
You can see in a couple of the captures the common and green have lost part of their tales at the tips and have grown replacements, you can see the new sections from the lack of colour.
The commons were harder to spot, these were very small not much bigger than your middle finger without the tail.

Annoyingly this female Common Lizard wouldn't come out from under the grass at the side of the path. So I took this shot as a record as a reminder that they are out and about in the Yorkshire Peak District. This one seems pretty fat and maybe due to give birth. Interestingly they usually give birth to live young (they are viviparous having 3 to 10 baby lizards in July) although some southern populations are oviparous (egg-laying).
