The Irish Wildlife Trust and the National Biodiversty Data Centre have nearly completed a nationwide Survey on the Common Lizard and it turns out it is indeed very common, One of the few success stories of Irish Wildlife.

The Common Brown Lizard. Has anyone here ever seen one? Where would they be found in Ireland, Only in the South? I just
have never seen nor heard of anyone who has seen one of these and would like to try to find one someday...

Have a look at www.biology.ie and check the Lizard survey maps to see where they are. The site also has many other surveys and you can keep track of your own sightings there. It's a brilliant web site for anyone interested in wildlife. It just don't describe stuff - it allows you keep your own sightings online. Its the best wildlife survey site in the country.
For lizard have a look here:

I saw a whole bunch of these in Wexford when I was younger. I had been wandering around by myself and nobody would believe me when I told them. It was only a few years ago when I purchased a book of Irish wildlife that I was able so show my some of my family and friends that there are lizards in Ireland!

During a military exercise in wicklow I took cover behind a boulder, when I went to have a peek over it I found a tiny lizard skeleton basking on top of it, poor bugger mustve been out sunning himself when he got eaten! incidentally none of the lads believed me

Have since seen them in the wicklow mountains on quite a few occasions. wonder do they make good pets, I could train one of them to be my units mascot an attack lizard!

This unusual pigeon appeared outside with the others, so I put out some food for them, to entice this king pigeon up....

Lovely little bird, when he sings the inside of his mouth is bright red which looks very fetching against his puffed up white throat, sure to attract the ladies!
