Well like I say not much of a specimen, but the first Lv we have spotted in our wildlife garden since we created it back in April. I spotted one under the back hedge whilst creating our snake egg incubator so was hopeful that they would colonise, this one was in the depths of the garden on a log and brash pile we put in next to our hibernation bund and pond. Chuffed, best sighting all year!

The spot this picture was taken at was a mown lawn just 5 months ago...

Hi there,

Here are a couple of Viv. Lizards that I recently observed during one of my surveys in Kent. Poor little blighters try all day to dodge the pheasants then a human comes along and grabs it and moves it to a new home, a specially built three story habitat pile no less.

Anyway thought you might like them

Brett.

Bah, yours is a nicer colour !

BTW, is it mandatory to cock our pinkie when holding an Lv ?, as if we're drinking tea out of bone china ??

I notice, both Paul and I do it.

I'm always astonished at the qulity of photography on this site, I'm on a few photographic forums and when reptiles crop up they tend to be rather, er, mediocre. I know familiarity with the subject is key but I know a number of you are just damn good photographers outright. Always a real pleasure to see peoples images on here.

Thought this was quite a nice view and decided it should be shared...

You can see that the refugia item (right) became a little obsolete with this oneā

Enjoy...

Brett.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for that. It was sitting on top of the branch and as I moved closer, so it positioned itself on the front of the cutting as you see it. Right place, right time I suppose..
