Common Lizard

[Stan]

Spotted this one on a post at WWT Barnes today but with a lot of "grass" in front making a shot impossible - so i proceeded to pull the "grass" out of the way and realised too late there were a few nettles in amongst it - the stinging all over my arms was a constant reminder for the rest of the day

Re: Common Lizard

Great image Stan and he has posed well for you. Did he just sit there while you did your "gardening"?

Re: Common Lizard

You did well to get that - all I do is blink and the little buggers vanish on me

nice photo

realised too late there were a few nettles in amongst it - the stinging all over my arms was a constant reminder for the rest of the day

but worth it for a fine photo, I can say that as I'm not the one that got stung ;o)

Did he just sit there while you did your "gardening"?

surprisingly he did especially as Dee says i am not the quietest of people

but worth it for a fine photo, I can say that as I'm not the one that got stung

the effects have just about worn off this morning

thanks Lee

I've still to get a decent lizard shot at Barnes...

there seem to have been far fewer of them visible this year - last year we found them basking on almost very one of the bridges
