Hi,
Thursley Common, Surrey so either Common or Sand Lizard possible.
The first I assume to be Sand, less certain about the second?
Thanks,
HUgh

I'm afraid both of those are Common Lizards. You are not likely to see Sand Lizard on the boardwalks (you are not likely to see them at all, they are much more elusive than Common) but the higher sandy heath areas are the place to look, not out on the bog.

Good luck

Thanks, I suspected that would be the diagnosis!
