Troodos-Lizard - Zypern-Lizard (Phoenicolacerta troodica)

The Troodos lizard, also called Cyprus lizard, belongs to the class of reptiles (Reptilia)

Family of the real lizards (Lacertidae) and the genus Phoenicolacerta.

It is endemic Lizard to Cyprus. (Info Wikipedia)

I modeled the outer areas around the bird pond with additional stones, so that the new photo and video recordings of the year 2023 do not show the same background as the time before.

The changes have obviously also pleased the Cyprus lizards, more and more feel very comfortable there. Now, at the beginning of March, it is mating season and you can see the green males and brown females in their mating behavior.

This sometimes leads to direct attacks and the loss of the tail, which then slowly grows back.

Below are some photos additional to my video.
