'Green Lizard' at 'Ketrock', Meijel on Saturday, 28th of September 2013.
Find out more about my photography on Facebook.
My first common lizard (Zooteca vivipara) this year. Looking under its chin. I couldn’t make my mind up as to whether this was one or two lizards.Also known as viviparous lizards as the female gives birth to live young.
Purely by chance I came across two baby Common Lizards when out walking last weekend in a place that I just hadn't expected them to be. After looking at Wales Birder's fantastic images a day or so before and having been out a few times previously and not finding any, I just happened to look down at a broken limb from a fallen tree on one of my regular dog walking routes and couldn't believe my eyes. I've never seen one before let alone babies. This one is about 60mm long all in so not that easy to spot. Apparently, unlike the Sand Lizard, female Common Lizards hold their eggs internally and give birth to live young. Not the best of shots but my first for these little beauties. Better viewed large.....press 'L' if you have time. :))
This is one of two lizards i photographed on a recent trip to France. I found this one on some rocks near the Pont du Gard Roman aqueduct outside Nimes. I think its probably a Lacertidae lizard of some kind, most probably a Common Wall lizard (Podarcis muralis), but i know there are several other similar species in this area (Podarcis hispanica in particular), and im not too sure how to tell the difference. Any help with a postive ID would be greatly appreciated!
