Martin and Iolo head to the Welsh coast to investigate the successful reintroduction of sand lizards (Lacerta agilis) and learn more about their ecology.
Really enjoyed ....go to the south coast cliffs Southbourne....there's wall lizards and lacerta billineata or viridis western green lizard there. ....I know there not indigenous of the UK.....but they are so beautiful....good to see the sand lizards agilis is doing so well .
That's good to hear .rescued a wall lizard the other day came in at a veg shop tail missing and looking sad I've put it under uv and basking lamp and he's doing really well feeding pooping ect. Beautiful little lizard
A great #rewilding success story, added to our playlist. Watched it live earlier, watching again and more sinks in, thanks for uploading.
I remember when the sand lizard enclosure was first opened at Chester Zoo in 1996. Good to see the breeding programme works.
It's been doing some amazing work over the past couple of decades!
How would I get involved as a private breeder for conservation
You'd have to contact the Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Trust, not sure they are taking any new people on though. www.arc-trust.org/

Still interesting that the Wall Lizard hasn't really over-exploited it's niche in the UK environments as an invasive.

See I can get behind that, rather than people taking in sick Grey Squirrels!
I thought billineata were at boscombe are there more at southbourne
