Well, since i'm new, (and I've been drooling over all *your* photos) thought I might as well contribute something.
Here's an old photo of what I believe is a Common Lizard (apologies for the blurry picture, and if i got the species wrong) which I found several years ago sitting on the pavement in my street. Thought it was a piece of twig until i looked more closely! Don't know what he /she was doing there- it's unusual to see reptiles where i live, but he'd lost his tail and was not looking too happy so I picked him up and took him home before he got stepped on/run over.
at the time we had a large overgrown garden so I released the lizard there fter keeping an eye on it for a while. Unfortunately though I found it dead a few weeks later, so possibly he had injuries apart from the tail or was picked off by a cat or bird.
Later though I had more luck with an equally cute lizard which a friend's cat had attacked. It had lost its tail and had a cut under one eye. I kept it until it had healed and the tail had grown back, then released it in some local countryside with plenty of insects around.
Unfortunately the crickets I fed it escaped and decided to move into the airing cupboard..... :eek1:
Chirp, chirp.
