Wall lizard
We saw wall lizards like these fairly frequently. (The exact identity of this animal is uncertain: there are a number of closely related species.) Generally speaking, wall lizards have a larger head in relation to their body than our own common (or viviparous) lizard (Lacerta vivipara). (All of the pictures in this gallery were taken in the garden of 'La Roque', near Ginasservis in Provence, southern France in 2004.)
