Posted: 29 May 2006 Topic: Is it a Common Lizard?



Hello,

I've just found your excellent forum and thought I would ask what you think this is.

I was going to delete the photograph, which was meant to be of the Thrift, until I spotted a lizard posing in the background. I think it's a Common Lizard.

If it works properly the thumbnail can be enlarged twice




edit
I don't understand what's happened, the image doesn't seem to have appeared. Can anybody tell me what has gone wrong? I've posted images on forums before without any problems.

Posted: 21 Jun 2006 Topic: Snake Identification please



Hello, I've another picture to identify. In spite of looking at loads of pictures I'm not sure which snake this is.




It was a little over a foot long and quite slim.

I spotted this in a pony 'footprint' about 4 inches deep. Would you agree that it is a newly hatched dragonfly?

Oh wow, thanks. 

I saw it late afternoon on 16th June, on an area of heath just to the south side of Hatchet Pond in the New Forest.

Thanks.

It was difficult to photograph because of where it was, I was pretty sure it was the larval case but couldn't get any closer to see. I'm still a little bemused to have found it in a hole in the ground instead of on a waterside plant.

No need to apologise, thank you for taking the time to make such a lengthy and careful reply. I appreciate it.

Unfortunately I no longer have the original picture, it was lost along with a hard drive and backup CDs don't seem to work any more, which is a bit disheartening. I spotted it about here which ties in with the geographical areas you've mentioned.

It was close to the edge of a large natural 'pond', where the mud had been churned up by local animals. A really odd place for an insect to emerge.
