I've been meaning to ask this for ages. During the Pennine Way in the
summer I was crossing boggy ground one afternoon when out of the
corner of my eye I noticed a little creature - presumably either a
lizard or a newt - scurrying away through the undergrowth. What was
striking about it was that it moved both right legs together, and then
both left legs, so it ran with a very pronounced wiggle.
I've rarely had the good luck to see a lizard, and, although I spent a
lot of time in sand dune pools searching for newts as a child, I can
no longer remember how they move.
Can anyone shed any light on what this was likely to have been? It was
small, and it's such a long time since I saw it that I can no longer
remember how it looked, other than its very distinctive gait.
Thanks for any enlightenment
Best wishes,
