Spotted on a walk this morning, reminded me of a Culture Club song!
Lovely little fella, massive tongue which I couldn't get on a picture as the three times he used it to grab a bug it was over in a fraction of a second!

Excellent spot and photo Andrew, I've seen two flattened ones whilst walking from the car park to the beach at Galè but never a live one. 🦎

This would appear to be the place for them, about four weeks ago we saw another one on the tree trunk just to left of this but he was massive, much, much bigger that this fella who I'd guess, not including his tail, was about 100mm/4".

Is it a chameleon? I've never seen anything like it in the flesh.
Thanks for the photo. Fascinating.
