He just stared (or glared) at me and allowed me to get to within about a metre of him before he decided to turn tail and run under a little bridge nearby at the edge of the rockery.
In this photo you can see how even more handsome he looks (not all of them had the green on their backs - perhaps it's a distinguishing characteristic between males & females or adults and juveniles)
This lizard was about 50 cms in length, if I remember correctly.
