Do you see me?- Slow worm (Anguis fragilis)

On my trip to the "Perchtoldsdorfer Haide" near Vienna i found a Slow worm, (Anguis fragilis) hiding in the leaves. Because it fled from us i was able to spot it accorrding to the sounds it made in the dry leaves and take some pictures of it. It is not really a snake nor a lizzard or worm but some kind of mix. With my 150-600mm lens i dind't even had to get too close to disturbe it. I also tried to take some pictures with the macro lens but no chance it burried itself in the leafes right away.

Awesome shots, Florian :-)
If they're not lying in the blazing sun on a cooler day, they can be pretty shy.

They are shy, it was pure luck i found it. Zufall eben, aber ein glücklicher.

Nice. I like lizards. Are they common there? They are everywhere in Panama. And Australia.
