My OH said the lizard was darkish brown with no markings.

Sounds like the female of the above. The female apparently has no patterning.

Stephen, how do you tell the difference between that rare lizard and the common one?  Like Fester I sometimes see little brownish lizards in the garden.  One of my cats used to bring in lizards, too, but now that she's getting older she's given up hunting and I don't see so many of them.

Do you mean the rare one being the sand lizard?

The sand lizard is very green in colour, whereas the viviparous (common) lizard is brown.

The common lizard is ironically only slightly less rare than the sand lizard. I've never seen one

this reminds me of  an incident years ago when my friend and I were playing in the dunes behind Fairways (before the completion of the far end of the estate) we were peering into a little hole in the side of a dune as "something" appeared to be standing there watching us. Suddenly a little creature hopped out on two back legs  and we ran home screaming,Never found out what it was, just assumed it was a toad

Thanks Stephen, it must be the viviparous lizard which I see.

Not really wildlife, but a local baby !

What a lovely picture, Nemesis.  That foal is so sweet. 

[Nemesis]

Thanks-- I walked all the way up the hill last year after being told about a foal and it was hiding in its hut. This year I happened to see it by chance and I also had remembered to pick up the camera on the way out. Result !

[hollins]

Thanks for putting the photo of the foal on here. How gorgeous!

That's a nice photo of the Foel Nemesis.  Did you take it in Wyddfyd Road?      I walked past there about 2 weeks ago and there was a 5 week old lighter coloured one in the paddock but when I drove up with my wife to show her the Foel unfortunately it wasn't there.
