Found this lizard on the top of the Volcano San Antonio on La Palma, Spain. I was hoping to capture an even bigger one, but this was the best shot I got. Normally there are more of these around, but today they seemed to be a bit shy...
Japalura swinhonis, also known as Swinhoe's japalura or Swinhoe's tree lizard, is a species of lizardsendemic to Taiwan. The species is named after Robert Swinhoe. Its body is brown with a yellow stripe. Its length can reach 31 cm (Wikipedia). Saw this little guy on the Shakadang Trail in the Taroko National Park in Taiwan.
A European Green Lizard seen in scrub just prior to the Grand dolmen de Ferrussac on the Larzac. The blue head shows that it is a male. Normally they are hot to run at the slightest half crack of grass; with the cooler Easter air making them much easier to photograph. I have a photo from this series with the same male holding the upper tail of a female... She was about the same size but with a more modest attire. Maybe he was exhausted without sun and didn't want to let go as he returned to heat. She got away as he turned his head to my view and this was the shot that best filled the frame.
The water lizards can be hard to see as they camouflage so well, but great to photograph when you spot one.
Lacerta agilis, female.
My first of the year and my earliest ever sighting (4th Feb)...I have checked the back markings on this female and she was one of the first individuals I saw last year, on the 18th Feb, she's certainly an early riser!!

Lagartija ibérica (Podarcis hispanica): lagartija de tamaño medio, que puede alcanzar hasta 7 cm de longitud cabeza-cuerpo, aunque generalmente son menores. La cola puede llegar a alcanzar hasta 10 centímetros, prácticamente el doble que el resto del cuerpo. El diseño dorsal es muy variable. En la Sierra del Guadarrama los tonos generales son pardos con un reticulado oscuro irregular más intenso en la región mediodorsal. En los costados pueden aparecer bandas claras. La región gular carece de pigmentación, o de existir, suele estar limitado a un punteado oscuro en los laterales. Ventralmente pueden presentar coloraciones blanquecinas o rojizas, sin pigmentación oscura generalmente. La lagartija ibérica abunda con mayor frecuencia en terrenos rocosos o pedregosos, donde cuenta de forma simultánea con plataformas donde tomar el sol y refugios donde esconderse en caso de peligro.
Iberian lizard (Podarcis hispanica): medium sized lizard, which can reach up to 7 cm head-body length, although they are generally smaller. The tail can reach up to 10 centimeters, practically twice as much as the rest of the body. The dorsal design is very variable. In the Sierra del Guadarrama the general tones are brown with an irregular dark reticulate more intense in the mediodorsal region. Clear bands may appear on the sides. The gular region lacks pigmentation, or if it exists, it is usually limited to a dark dot on the sides. Ventrally they can present whitish or reddish colorations, without generally dark pigmentation. The Iberian lizard abounds more frequently in rocky or stony ground, where it has simultaneous platforms with sunbathing and shelters where to hide in case of danger.

'LEICESTERSHIRE LIZZIE'
'Leicestershire Lizzie' as she has become fondly known, has caused considerable interest from people far and wide. She was first noted in 2018, but thought to be present on the roadside verge for some years prior to this. The brilliant news is that several seedlings have now established themselves close by so hopefully, the makings of a colony
This image was made just over a year ago but she has put on a spectacular show in 2021. Although unable to connect with her in all her glory this year, I did see her on 6th June when she was not far off opening.

More lizards, this time at Westhay Moor NNR. This one is putting the starlings sculpture to good use as a basking spot. Its body is pressed flat against the surface to get maximum heat from the sunshine.
Walking through Starkey Park, I really liked the way the bright green of the lizard stood out from the brown of the leaf.
According to the information sign at the enclosure this is a blue spiny lizard. Only the adult males have a blue chin, throat and belly whereas the females are greyish-brown. Therefore I suppose that the animal in this shot is either a female or a young male.
The photo was taken through glass.
I was in search of butterflies at Roper Mountain Science Center yesterday and saw but one (that got away), I did, however, spot this tiny little lizard that I almost missed because he blended so well into the rock he was perched on.
