Talking of Lizards.......

I came across my first ever Lizard while on holiday in Cumbria recently,this one is a juv Common Lizard which has apparently already had a lucky escape as it's tail has been lost and re-grown!

How often are species with 'common' on the front actually quite hard to see? I saw my first ones last year, but now I know where to look.

Nice photo; I haven't seen a regrown tail before, are you sure it wasn't just shedding its skin?

A half tailed lizard! Once, on holiday in Greece, I managed to grab a lizard by the tail. The lizard "fell off" the tail as if it were never really connected. I was left holding a writhing tail. The lizard took up its position on a sunny rock as if nothing had happened.
Cured me from trying to catch lizards though
