Recent threads in this forum reminded me of some of my own sightings of wall lizards, for which I'd like confirmation of my IDs.
The first one was seen in Salamanca, Spain, a couple years ago. I think it's Podarcis guadarramae (does this species have a German name?), but I find lizards and their seemingly random patterns utterly confusing.
The second one is from Rome, Italy. I think it's an Italian Wall Lizard (P. sicula).
The third one was taken in Basel, Switzerland. I'm pretty sure it's Podarcis muralis, based on range.
All images resized due to upload restrictions. I'd be grateful for any opinions and ID help.
There's also another thread of mine with more ID questions for which I didn't receive any suggestions at the time; perhaps now there are people around who can answer these (in this thread, if you want to):
