I managed to photograph this legless lizard when I was traversing the forest looking for moose. I wish I had had my 100mm macro with me, which I usually do. Anyway, I had to improvise with other lenses, but it didn’t last long. Unfortunately the slow worm “dived” into the moss, and it was impossible to find it and continue shooting.

This time I decided for the first option, at the expense of the quality of images.

The blindworm is so filigree that the gallery should probably be in the macro section. It takes a lot of trial and determination to make an advanced tongue of the blindworm. Ejects it whenever it starts moving. This time there was plenty to choose from ...
