      I take tons of photo's of Ventnor Wall Lizards every time I'm at the Botanic Gardens, never as close-up as that though their so skittish!

          When I was a kid, these would be found in our gardens, together with the likes of newts, etc. Don't even find toads in the garden these days, only on my plot.

            The last Common I saw was three years ago but I've seen two rarer Sand Lizards in the last month!

              Is it rare? Are you (even a little) disappointed when your “new” observation is “common”?
