Common Lizard
Lacerta vivipara
The Common Lizard (also known as viviparous lizard) can live almost anywhere,
but they prefer reasonably warm places with good basking sites. Adults
can reach 14 cms and colouration can include shades of brown, grey and
dark green. They are insect eaters and also eat small snails.
We stumbled across these lizards basking on a fallen birch trunk across
a pathway along Sherbrook Valley, Cannock Chase. There were four lizards
on the trunk, although had Helen not been paying attention, we could have
easily walked right past them.
