Looking for Lizards
Walking
Warm summer days are good for lizard-hunting in our dry climate…

Bracken Jungle
Tuesday and Amelia made their way through a bracken jungle!

Stalking
…they looked high and low, but didn’t see any lizards!

When they came out onto the pavement something skittered across their path…

European Wall Lizard
…it was a green European Wall Lizard, first dashing off the pavement then sitting on a sun-warmed rock for a couple of milliseconds!

The girls sat on the same rock (for a little while longer). Next time they hope to spot one of the little brown lizards native to this area.

These two lovable girls know how to have a wonderful time. Nature treasure hunting is so much fun and rewarding.
I do think that is the case…standing still, and looking around, and nature’s wonders come into focus (and sometimes skitter across your toes too!)
Perhaps the girls could learn lizard language and call some out of hiding? Your QHs are always involved in such interesting native adventures. We’re getting to know of your varied terrain as the weeks pass.
When I was small, hiding in the bracken forest was the delight of my summer afternoons. I am happy that Amelia and Tuesday are following in my footsteps!
wow! in all my years of wondering in local bracken jungles I’ve never seen a lizard. Lucky girls.
They were lucky! The lizard was very accommodating, and let us get a good look at him before he skittered off…
Ahhh fast little lizards! We have them here including skinks with bright blue tails…always a joy to spot. but they are sooo fast! the girls make quite a cute pair of lizard hunters.
I’d love to see a skink! The girls are busy exploring around, Tuesday is interested to learn about the environs of the Cupboard!
Wow! amazing photo! And Tuesday and Amelia are incredibly adorable!
Thanks 🙂 I was surprised that I got the picture of the lizard, as he was only still for a moment! Amelia and Tuesday were much more obliging!
I’m glad they got to find a lizard! What fun they had.
They were happy too, and they are experts at sitting still unlike Opal and Agathe who are a mite bouncy!
