a very shy and fascinating lizard. Both images were made with the 400D + Sigma 150mm without cropping :wink:

He is a lovely looking lizard. Great photos.

We only have one lizard in Ireland and that's the common one.... and it's not very common at all. :D

I have yet to see one in the UK, where they occur in some southern , sandy heaths. There were plenty in Corsica, even at roadsides, when I visited last summer. The bright green ones are the males.
