| Re: Wall lizards on Portland
I'll agree with that one, alien species are of great interest to me as well, which as you know is not always a popular opinion. My plan this year is to try and see all the exotic species of reptile & amphibian in the UK, although I can't see it happening to be honest! Still haven't got pool frog yet and that's meant to be native.
Interestingly, there was a push a few years back for the wall lizard population at Ventnor to be recognised as a remnant native colony. Word has it that it was down to a local chap who wanted a bit more protection for them and had no basis in fact.
cheers,
