A lizard

It’s good to report that much wildlife can be found in Market Lavington. Today we are looking at a lizard, spotted by our curator a couple of months ago.

There’s a Market Lavington lizard hiding in this photo

It has to be said that you need to be a bit sharp eyed to spot our lizard in this somewhat wild area of orchard, but we can, of course, zoom in.

That’s a bit more visible

 

Let’s zoom in a bit more!

Aha. Now we see it more clearly!

This is the common lizard and it was really quite a tiny creature. You are unlikely to see one now as they hibernate from about October to March.

Do keep your eye open. We do like to keep a record of local wildlife.

Dates for your Diary

Here are two events coming up in the next couple of months. It will be great to see you at either or both of these.

Come and tell us about your Wiltshire ancestors and how they were affected by the First World War – Wednesday September 3^rd at the museum.

Our now famous Museum Miscellany is on Saturday 4^th October at 7.30 in the Community Hall. Tickets are on sale in Market Lavington Post Office.
