In today's
#naturewatch France, I was raking over the massive mole hills before letting the mower loose, and uncovered this character. It was a bit slow to dive into the grass, and as I'd narrowly avoided spearing it with a rake tine, I thought rehousing it was the better option. This gave me the opportunity to take some photos. It has been very warm recently, so I guess they must have come out to warm up, along with the other lizards. Anyway, it didn't seem to mind wrapping itself around the warmth of my hand, much obliged! I set it down in another long grass area of the garden, but now it has started raining, with a possibility of snow overnight, so I might not see one again for a while!
