Today we saw three lizards, each was an Iberian wall lizard with yellow stripes along the length of its body. They are often easy to spot first thing in the morning, lying in a patch of sun to heat up. Sometimes they lay on the log pile, other times beside a terracotta plant pot. That’s where they were today, and that’s why we saw them – because workmen came today to install new external metal shutters on the bedroom windows.

Notes on a Spanish Valley 
We see a lot of geckos but not so many lizards, so it’s always exciting to see them. And can they run fast when they want to! 🙂

We’ve got a massive ant problem at the moment, would swap it for some friendly lizards any day!

Our lizards hide in the honeysuckle. Sorry about the ants, nothing for it but killer spray. 🙂 SD

There’s something human about the way they tip their heads when they look at you! SD
