Caught some good photographs of what im almost sure are neo common lizards. Found hundreds of the little devils on the concrete walls and side of the castle at Joselin in France. ( I was suprised at how small they where i almost squished one with my arm accidently when leaning on the wall.

Thanks for identification. Took a lot of carefull pacing to get this close for the photo, i was literally about 12 inches away. I found that the adults are a lot more caucious than the little ones.

I only got one pic of an adult from quite far back, dont know if its the same species but I presume it is.
