an afternoon with Common Lizards

Earlier this week, I spent a few hours photographing the Common Lizards, that spend their life in my garden.  Although quite shy and wary of any sudden movements, they were happy to allow me into their world.

The following images of them, were all taken with my Nikon D500 and 200-500 f5.6 lens, mainly at 500mm.

This shot clearly shows the 'Nicitating Membrane', or 3rd eyelid, which allows light, maintains vision and lubricates and protects the eye.

Back in December last year, I wrote a specific blog about these captivating little creatures, which gives more details about them and explains the difference between Lizard's and Gecko's. Here is the link:
