For the first time ever we are aware of baby lizards — tiny black skittering forms disappearing under the compost heap by the pond when we approach — here is one very magnified basking in a short period of sunlight today.

We have put out a piece of corrugated iron by the pond which they seem to like!

Maybe this is the mother of our little chap — enjoying the corrugated which was intended for slow worms (no sign of them yet!)
