Part of my study into the spatial and behavioural patterns of common lizards in my back garden.
An 8.5cm long juvenile lizard, possibly female with very restricted dorsal patterning when compared to the other lizards. This individual was found at Site 2 (a sheet of corrugated iron).
Yes, sorry about that confusion. I just use numbers to identify individuals rather than naming them. Maybe if I took out the first 0 it would be less confusing?
My pleasure! Catching these things can be quite tricky, especially in the afternoon once the sun has warmed them. I always use a net to block off their escape route, and then gently encourage them to enter the net. After that it is a quick transfer to the tub where all their measurements are recorded, and then a quick ID photograph is taken before they are released again.
