Sand Lizard / Madfall y Tywod
A beautiful male Sand Lizard / Madfall y Tywod (Lacerta agilis), showing the distinctive green flanks - this lime green colouration is particularly vivid in the 'Merseyside' race of the lizard. The sand lizard is the rarest lizard in the UK and afforded Category 1 protection by both UK and European legislation.
This was taken as part of the Sand Lizard Monitoring Training Day run by Denbighshire and Flintshire County Council.
