Common lizard
Sand lizard
Wall lizard
Western Green lizard (a new lizard found on the cliff tops of Boscombe and Southbourne)
Most people know about the Common lizard, some may know about the Sand lizard, but I wonder how many people know about the Wall lizard (I certainly did not know about them until very recently) The Western Green lizard is a recent discovery, so I expect vertually no one has heard of these. I have found a useful website about British reptiles:

Wall lizard, I am not sure about who is male and who is female. The only difference seems to be is that the males are slightly larger than the females.


This one was watching me while I was watching him

This lizard came towards me, maybe he thought he could shoo me off :)

Difficult to say if these are two males

This was a surprise, a Common lizard, in the same location

Really good images Lyn, I'll bet he was watching you.
Excellent shots Linda. I've never seen these before; little beauties.
Thanks Roy, it was great watching him and I was close enough to him to be able to see that he was giving me the eye:)
Thanks Keith, it was incredibly easy to get these pictures. The male Wall lizards are territorial and it was not difficult to find them, just go to each pile of rocks and stones and you will find a lizard. I think people do get these confused with the Sand lizard.
