sand lizard

We ventured out to a new reserve for us at Needs Ore Point on the Hampshire Coast. We were lucky enough to snap this fantastic sand lizard basking in the sunshine under a bush right near to the information post at the reserve. After being lost from the New Forest a programme to reintroduce the sand lizard (Lacerta agilis) was started in 1989 so this must be the result of that work.
