From a small east Kent reserve that is only open for two days a week, but where a small group of local photographers have a key, today we had a small BBQ combined with a few sessions with the cameras, it was nice to be with like minded people.
This small reserve is a haven for Common Lizards, as you walk around they scuttle off in all directions, with the aid of a herpetologist the intention is for the reserve to become more photographer/reptile friendly....
Any way a small glimpse into this youngsters world, not the easiest of little creatures to image this Juvenile is around 1.5 inches in total length.
All the best

Hi Phil
Cracking shot of a difficult species with great detail. If it were mine I would be tempted to crop a little off the bottom and cloan out the remaining OOF leaf!

Lovely shot Phil, but I tend agree with David about the foreground oof leaf, at least I would trim a bit off the bottom.
Found a nice spot of my local moor for lizards. I find it amazing how good they are at detecting vibration, and how fast they can move - they can really disappear in the blink of an eye. Great fun to shoot though. John

Hi Phil this is a beautiful picture.

Andy.... ..... (btw clipped tail is due to the fact that the lizard didn't quite come fully into the open, tip of tail was hidden behind another OOF leaf)
