Wall Lizard...

Introduced (released) along the South coast by a once pet-shop owner, these now reside in some really well suited habitat along with some Green Lizards (also introduced).. this is a young (sub-adult). Look forward to getting some more images of these in the future. It was sitting in the leaf littler on top of a wall sunning itself...

Hope it loads correctly as it's via the mobile phone as I'm in the field doing newt surveys at the moment. (?)

Enjoy the rest of the weekend..!

Good stuff !
I see no tranny aerial though.
Shame - maybe he's sloughed it
:razz: I think I'd tone down the line out of the top eye though.
Cheers
