| Re: Wall lizards on Portland
Matt,
In the flesh they're obviously bigger and more robust. Most adults seem to be about 9 inches total length or so. Also their behaviour is quite different - they are more active, basking in temperatures that would have common lizards running for the shade. Wall lizards tend to inhabit the rockier areas such as quarries and are found on near vertical cliff faces and in the cracks between rocks.
cheers,
