Common or Viviparous lizard,
Sand Lizard,
Slow worm or legless lizard.
We do counts on reserves by putting small sheets of corrugated iron out on the ground which heat up in the sun to warm up our reptiles. Lifted later you can often find collection including snakes.
Here is a pic of a common lizard.

How do I tell the difference between newts and lizards?
Answer
Quick answer
Lizards are scaly and very quick – if you can catch it, it’s a newt!
Further information
Many people confuse newts (on land) with lizards as they can be a similar size and colour. Newts have smooth skin (which can look velvety) or skin with a ‘warty’ texture, whereas lizards have scaly skin.
Lizards do occasionally swim but if you’ve seen the animal in water then it’s much more likely to be a newt
