Recently documented occurrence of the Common Wall Lizard (Podarcis muralis) in the Czech part of Silesia

A reproducing population of the common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis) is reported from the Czech Silesia (Czech Republic) for the first time. The lizards live in the ruins of the castle Šelenburk which is located on the Cvilín Hill near the town Krnov. This finding extends the known range of P. muralis from the nearest known Moravian locality cca 60 km to the North-West.
