I popped back to the woodland a few days ago and did a small bit of 'gardening' where i had seen the green lizards last week,I did the minimum amount necessary to get a clear shot,There are alot of buzzards and black kites in the woods so didnt want to put the lizards in any danger by opening up too much,I went back yesterday morning and within 10 minutes the female came out,just showing here head to start with and gradually inching out until completely exposed and a few minutes after that the male appeared,After some warming up they mated,The male climbed on top of the female and left 2 white (sperm?) packets on the back of the female,I saw 5 differnt lizards there yesterday from very small to adult

An interesting shot although from an aesthetic point I think removing the blurry foreground leaves would help, but I understand your reluctance to do so. I think if you work at this subject you will end up with some excellent images as the lizards are very photogenic, great skin colour and tones.
Great to see, Agree with only doing the minimum for a clear shot but this would have been improved a touch if you could have cleared the OOF leaves on the right and toned down the bright thingy in the bg.
