Common Lizards are found in many UK habitats, including heathland, moorland, woodland and grassland, they like basking in the sun. The common lizard is also known as the Viviparous lizard. They are unusual among reptiles as they incubate their eggs inside their body and ‘gives birth’ to live young rather than laying eggs.

We spotted this Lizard in the New Forest enjoying the sun on a fallen branch which spanned a small stream.
