A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Stellio atricollis
A small-ish (judged it to be about 20-25cm in length) male with a blue head and yellow tail, as is typical of the species, though not as brightly colored as he would be in the breeding season.
Found clinging to a large tree in the back garden of a restaurant.

Welcome Jessica! We're practically neighbours. I'm in Heidelberg.
Very nice first spotting on Noah - welcome to the Project!
Welcome to Project Noah, JessicaSA
I hope you like the site as much we do; there are many features you can explore:
I invite you to go to http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you will find the purpose and “rules” of Project Noah.
There is a blog http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we post articles from spotters with special insight into different organisms.
There are also the chats for help with identification, and to comment on your own and others’ spottings.
Look at the global and local missions to put your spottings into:http://www.projectnoah.org/missions
Enjoy yourself here, see you around!
