Thanks Martin! Most kind of you. David, I can see the picture now ,thanks. So, are you saying that the sex of common lizards can be determined by the colour of the underside? I have never paid much attention to this in the past I must confess. Cheers, Alan |

Hi! Just joined the forum today after surfing for some information about the Common Lizard. I have a small population in my back garden. Spotted about 8 adults today, basking when the sun came out, as well as 7 young (3 basking together), the others resting on leaves. Having recently perchased a digital camera, I am taking photos of them and recording sightings. The information in the forum has helped me identify males and females, thank you. My compost heap is also home to several slow worms. I am planning to build a website diary of the wildlife I share my garden with over the next few weeks. I will keep you posted!

Hi guys,
This is a female from central Lincolnshire (sorry about the annotations, can't find my original off hand) and she seems very typical of the females I find all over the county. I have only found females there with this colour or a slightly more orange underside. Can't say I've paid much attention elsewhere though (I will from now on). Cheers, Lee. |

My first common lizards of 2004 on Bournemouth clifftops today. A few wall lizards have been out on and off throughout the winter. Photo of male common lizard from today below.
cheers, Chris |

nice one Chris
let us know if you get a 'sand lizard' out this month, given the last six days and a cold forecast ahead. Keith Corbett recorded them for every month in Dorset and our only Jan. record for the Wealden sites was a juv. from 5 yrs. ago. Despite the incidental / random nature of these 'out of season' records, they are valuable 'phenological data', which may show, over time (eg. decades), patterns of change in relation to climate and other factors . . . . . . always worth recording. john |
