Ibiza Wall Lizard. Formentera, Spain.

For the past four days, Nate and I have been working like crazy on our film about lizards of the Mediterranean islands. We’ve witnessed and filmed some truly spectacular lizard behavior. Today was our last day of filming and we now have many hours of footage to edit.

Despite our busy filming schedule I did make a nice dive, and we’ve been snorkeling early in the morning. Here’s a taste of the breathtaking marine life out here:
