The viviparous lizards were out in force in the garden today after the rainy weather. This is a newbie, seen for the first time today. It very obligingly let me get some close-ups. |

Hi Al, I think it's a tick, it shows up better I think on the original image below. This was taken in-situ, for some reason it just seemed 'interested' in me taking the photographs, the lovely expression was a reaction to the shutter from the previous shot It didn't scoot off until I attempted to move the annoying bit of vegetation to get a full body shot.

Hmmmm, I photographed a Female adder yesterday that reacted in a similar fashion. She remained completely passive and kept on lifting her head towards my lens .
Have you seen any Bubys in your garden yet? Al |

no buby vivi lizards, adults and one sub-adult, and they don't seem to be around all the time, even when conditions are ideal. I was really hoping that we would get a nice fat gravid female 'pop' in the garden so that we could could call it a 'colony'. Still, there is time yet and we have a couple of slow-worms that look very very gravid, who knows there may even be some grassy eggs in the compost heap this year

My first sighting of a new-born Common Lizard this summer was on Saturday 6 August at a local wet heathland reserve in North Hampshire. It was basking on a pile of old birch logs (on which I've also frequently seen Grass Snakes). Picture attached.
