Hello. We just found this lizard on our drain brickwork by the back door. What is it?

Do you live near water?

My mum and dad had loads of these running about the garden, they live at the back of a canal.

There is two lizards I think in the UK The common and the Sand lizard, Or it could possibly be a newt, although an amphibian Im pretty sure they spend a lot of the time out of the water, or more out then in. Try looking up the lizards or if they dont match newts. I think there is a crested newt and I think the others just called the common newt (years since I did pond dipping)

Newts

Yeah, think you're right! Thought it was odd finding a lizard... I always thought newts looked more like frogs but with tails.

Back to school for me, perhaps my nieces and nephews could take me pond fishing for some education...
