That's a great pic wild edges - love all your fuzzy wuzzy flies too! We get little lizards on the hills, but they're usually far too quick to catch with a camera. I did manage a pic once, but I can't remember which hill it was...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
A lovely picture Wild Edges, was it unexpected or had it been seen before? We have one or two places where green lizards have been seen on the island, although I haven't been so lucky to spot one myself.
This one was unexpected but I keep an eye out for them. They're everywhere around here, or used to be before there were so many cats around. They were all over the garden when we first moved here. In dry weather like this they'd pop out of the raised veg beds for a drink when we watered the plants and I'd find them stuck in pots in the greenhouse now and then. I had bowls under the tomatoes to keep them watered and had to add sticks in there so they could climb out. The 2 pics below are one on the raised bed waiting for a drink and one climbing a stick out of a tomato bowl.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
A Swallow with a full beak waiting for us to leave a hide where its nest was with three young visible, the viewing slats left open for the birds to have free access to the nest this being the second brood.
Are egrets common up north now? I remember seeing them quite often in Devon in the late 80s- early 90s and just thinking they were normal birds down there. Apparently I was witnessing the start of the invasion.
@Fire what's the lizard in the pic? I missed it earlier.
