Thanks for this Kevinb. I'll be paying a visit some time soon as well to re-check. It doesn't look great for the long term survival of the colony. Unfortunately there aren't enough lizards to really find out where they came from through a genetic analysis, so their exact origin may remain a mystery. Does anyone ever remember there being a large number here at all? Cheers, Rob Department of Zoology University of Oxford |

Hi there Does anyone know the actual status of the Bristol walls; when was the last survey done? I also went a few weeks ago, and could only find five. There didn't really seem to be any suitable egg incubation areas where these adults were, which may explain the apparent decline. Has anyone ever seen juveniles?

Hi Rob, Thanks very much for this. Interesting to hear that there are some juveniles kicking about.... Maybe an indicator they have quite a way to go range-wise if you were seeing neonates after last year's summer! Have you noticed any decline in the University garden's numbers over the past couple of years? Cheers, Rob Department of Zoology University of Oxford |
