Another Lacerta ID

[Julius Zidorn]

Mario

[Jeroen Speybroeck]

[Julius Zidorn]

... and another one, just for fun
~ 100 height metres above Mikrolimni, on the way to the Kranies ruins

[Ilias Strachinis]

This should be the strange viridis morph

[Ilian Velikov]

Hmm..not so sure about the male. Looks more like trilineata to me.

Yes, looks like this strange L. viridis female from Vrondero (west of Mikri Prespa), June 2008

Mikro Limni = village at south banks of Mikri Prespa lake is not WESTERN Greece
