Balkan Wall Lizard Podarcis tauricus
Some photos from last years trip to Kefalonia. There were Balkan wall lizards in many of the locations we visited and this one posed in the morning sun on an olive tree. Seem to have a yawn to wake up too!
Fox
Had a little break from blogging with all the stuff that happened on Twitter after my last post, so here is a fox taken Wednesday evening after the sun had gone down below the landscape. This meant it was taken at ISO 3200. Not much detail when you zoom in, but hopefully looks fine for…

An otter

Lapwing Vanellus vanellus
More photos from Elmley Marshes: there were a number of lapwings by the road and I got some nice shots of them. I got one as it stretched its wings. And some different shots too.
