Could someone please give me advice on the following: yesterday (Sunday 29/6/03), I saw what looked like a male sand lizard on a beach on the island of Cumbrae just off the west coast of Scotland. It was green in colour, with similar markings to photographs I have seen and 15 cms long. The only doubt I had was that the shape of the head looked more like a common lizard. I thought the furthest north the sand lizard could be found was near Blackpool. Is it possible that this was a sand lizard? Thanks (just incase, welcome to RAUK Bill) administrator37802.5785648148 Bill

This lizard was a bright green colour from all angles and in and out of the shade. I will return to the same spot tomorrow with a digital camera and will attempt to get a close up photograph. I do not hold out much hope as my family and I have been visiting this particular spot for 40 years without ever seeing a lizard! If I do obtain a photograph I will attempt to post it on here and also take it to the Marine & Biological station. Cheers, Bill. Bill
