Common Lizard and a Toad.

I have nothing new to post and it's so quiet on here so here are a couple of oldies from files.

That’s a grand lizard pic John ... I’ve only ever seen one once.... and didn’t have a camera with me !  It is very quiet on the forum as everyone is experiencing little opportunity for taking photos... I think maybe we will have to use the latte lounge a bit more just to keep in touch when we feel we haven’t got many pics to post . That being said, it is quite interesting going through one’s old files and finding pics we haven’t posted before that merit an outing ....

 That toad reminds me of Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars though .

Hi Polly!

Thank you for your feedback.  I'm on my old laptop for about a week as my old PC is playing up, it's a motherboard problem. I've taken the three hard drives out and tried them in a docking station and they are fine, I've just ordered three SATA hard drive enclosures so I can use them as external hard drives for backup and storage. I ordered a new PC yesterday from Novatech who will build it in the next few days.

Computers are fantastic pieces of equipment until they misbehave aren’t they ?  Hope all is resolved soon and you get your new pc up and running soon .... we feel a bit naked without them don’t we....

Great lizard pic, there's a spot near Pendle Hill where I've seen lizards for the past 3 years.

I took the Lizard shot in September 2013 at Wicken Fen in Cambridgeshire on a meet up with two people who were members of this forum at the time. It was quite a journey for a day out. The Toad was in Haugh Wood near Hereford... only 10 miles from home.

Two really nice shots John - I'm missing my lizard population!

Dee... Our Common Lizard is tiny compared to some of those you used to post shots of, this one is 70mm/2.75 inches in length.

A great shot of the lizard John, which emphasises my wish to create a habitat for them.  I'm currently having a raised flower bed built which will incorporate a rockery.

Once it becomes established, I'll introduce lizards to it.
