My interest in this species started off a few months back when I was walking near a empty plot in JP Nagar 7th Phase, I spotted the colorful male and a few days later spotted the beautiful black and white female. This pair remained elusive for a couple of weeks and finally I could spot them and photograph them.
I usually commute to office via Kannakapura road and then through the Thurahalli range. Once while returning back home, I decided to take a deviation away from my usual route to do a bit of birding. In this route suddenly I saw a couple of lizards and rock agama’s basking in the sun.

super article and feel pity of them..
Dude, nice captures, both the first and the second part.
So, the first one looks a little differently colored. I suppose both are males. And, the female might not be so colorful. Am i right?
And, thanks for identifying this for me. I had spotted one in the hills of Doddaballapur recently. Sad that it was chased away by an insensitive friend before I could get some good shots. Anyway, here is what I could manage: http://picasaweb.google.co.in/d4dpak/PegasusTraining#5461686016742015122
