Lizard

A lizard might not be the correct term for what i found on a shoe. It was about 2 or 3" a browny green colour. Wish i had taken a picture of it before i put it outside in a bush.

Anyone any idea what it was?

It has re-appeared on the wall not so here is a photo

A young one of these perhaps? http://www.herpconstrust.org.uk/animals/smooth_newt.htm :)

looks like a common lizzard that has lost part of its tail..

yes common (wall) lizard with part of its tail missing.they drop their tail when attacked.

Thanks folks for the help. Never thought they would live this far north but it seems they are also found in the Arctic. Learn something new every day
