Simon Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I spotted this fellow in the garden this morning, it is the first one we have seen. For those who don't know it is a European Green Lizard, which is a very lazy name for something.[IMG]http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o51/seyles/P8250461.jpg[/IMG]Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suninfrance Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Don't know what it's "real" name is, but the I believe that the blue throat means that it is looking for a mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris pp Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Stunning photo Pads, can I steal it? I think it's a young male Calopteryx virgo, interestingly called the Beautiful Demoiselle in English, "Demoiselle" being the French for Damselfly. What else did you get?That's its name all right - Green lizard (male). Lacerta viridis.More photos please.[:D]Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonzjob Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Sorry Chris, I thought that I had replied to your post. As usual, smack on. They are lovely aren't they. Very graceful in a clumsy way, if that is possible? Are they very common? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
