I saw a very bright green lizard today (I have a photo, but no website
to post it, unfortunately). Looking at photos on the internet of the common lizard shows them to be a more muddy green than this one was. I reckon that it was at least 9 cm long, including the tail, which was the same length as the body. There were rows of pale spots down its back. I guess that it must have been a common lizard, as it looked nothing like the sand lizard, and it certainly wasn`t a slowworm. Kate |

The locations for native Sand Lizard are pretty limited. If in a built-up area, I guess an escaped exotic is a distinct possibility? -- Larry Stoter |

I believe that the male sand lizard is our only bright green native lizard. (Supposed to be particularly intense green in the breeding season). David |

However, this green lizard bore no resemblance to the pictures I saw of sand lizards on line. If it was an escapee, it had legged it pretty far as it was a long way from houses! Unless someone got fed up with a pet and released it in the Park deliberately. I may have to print a copy of the photo I took. Perhaps one of the Rangers may be able to identify it, or confirm that it is not a native species. It had extremely long toes on its back feet, but maybe that`s normal for lizards? Thanks Kate |

According to the HCT`s website, common lizards are normally brown, but can be green, yellow, or nearly black. It certainly looked exotic in green. Kate |

You aren't connected via broadband are you Kate? If so you would probably have 20MB or so of web space that you could upload stuff to. You don't need to muck about with HTML and web pages or any of that - you just create a location in "My Network Places", type a password and simply drag and drop your files. Without an index page ordinary files simply appear in a directory tree on the web - just like in Windows Explorer. You can see the results of my Mickey-Mouse experimenting of a couple of days ago at http://www.thespis.eclipse.co.uk. The links are very simple lines of HTML inserted into the standard page provided by the service provider. The Bat Survey Results link will show you what you get if you simply put files ino a folder.

In "My Network Places" I have three options : Microsoft Terminal Services, MS Windows Network, and Web Client Network. I assume that I use the last one, but when I click on it, nothing happens. Do you think you could you talk me through what I should do, please? Assume I know nothing - and you won`t be far wrong! Many thanks Kate |

In my case the address is ftp://myfiles.eclipse.co.uk. Internet Explorer opens this in Windows Explorer, showing all the public folders on the Eclipse ftp server, and when I log in with my Eclipse username and password my own webspace also appears as a folder. For example the folder containing my pictures appears in Exlorer under "Internet Explorer" as ftp://myfiles.eclipse.co.uk/www.thes...o.uk/pictures/ and I can simply drag and drop to and from this folder. However, first you must check that your ADSL package actually includes a web space - all the ones I considered do, but now I'm not so sure how many of the "popular" providers offer the facility. Normally it will be included if your email address includes a "subdomain" eg youraddress@yourdomain.provider.co.uk, in which case your web space will be www.yourdomain.provider.co.uk. If your email address is simply in the form youraddress@provider.co.uk then you probably won't have any webspace. I think that you are with Demon - if so it depends on which package you have eg "Home Office" includes 20MB of webspace but "Home" doesn't have any. Sorry If I have misled you. David |

It`s mine! So I just had delete the [/IMG][/url] bit? I think that was about the only thing I didn`t try... Thanks, Keith. David : I have Demon Home Office, so the webspace should be available. However, it won`t accept my password and I get an error message. I shall have to speak to Demon to see what I am doing wrong. Meanwhile, the lizard photo may be seen at the above URL that Keith got to work for me. Thanks again Kate |
