Mediterranean Chameleon (Chamaeleo chamaeleon)

            We were walking along a footpath near the coast when this couple in front of us (who we think were German) started waving frantically at us. When we got near we realised that it was a Mediterranean Chameleon that had walked across their path and into some vegetation on the other side. They must have seen me carrying my camera and thought that I might like a photograph. In Europe, these chameleons are ONLY found in Southern Spain, Portugal, Cyprus and Crete, so we were lucky to see it. We gently lifted it onto a stick to get some photos and then quickly returned it to the undergrowth. Best viewed large!

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
