Lacerta agilis - Sand lizard
(adult male)

The sand lizard is larger than the common lizard, and somewhat stockier. Sand lizards have an attractive pattern of dark spots with light centres (ocelli), over a background of brown or grey. Males develop vivid green flanks in the breeding season (April to May). Juveniles are a more uniform brown, with distinct ocelli.

Common lizard here, in Czech republic.

Enjoy!

Good photo, well composed. I can imagine how much patience is needed to take a picture of these shy creatures!
