ID Please
Hi
Can anyone help with IDing this critter please. He has been driving me mad. We first noticed him on 18th May. I have been trying to ID him with no such look. He comes out of his hole when it is dark. not just at nite but through the day if we shut the curtains. I've got a number of shots of him, but as soon as I take a photo of him, he is straight back into his hole. He never completely leaves his hole. He buries his head in the sand most of the time and can change colour, as you can see. I would be so greatful if any of you can ID him. He is such a character. I love him, but would like to know what he is called.  WHO IS HE  LOVE TO GET TO KNOW YOU  THIS IS HIM COMING OUT  THE TIP OF HIM  ANOTHER SHOT OF HIS TIP  BEST PIC YET OF HIM Thanks for any help Wendy
