I'm just back from a Dorset trip...and look what I found at Boscombe !





They're pretty much all over that Wall lizard transect, but moreso at the top, from last week's experience.

Very nice Steve - strangely one of the few places in Dorset that I have never visited.

hi steve

beautiful pics. how big do they grow? its difficult to gauge from the pics but they look significantly bigger and bulkier than common lizards.

Tony, you were probably put off visiting Bournmouth by the awful hen party crowds that invade the streets on Friday and Saturday nights.....

but it's the very same reason that keeps old Steve going back 

Great pics!

@Rick

These two were probably about a foot long from nose to tail, but there are some big ones about there. I've heard they grow to 16 inches (40cm), and some look far more bulky than these two slim-liners.

For size comparison (same hand): Green lizard left, Common lizard right.
