Unmanned aerial vehicles (colloquially known as drones) equipped with a high-definition camera have a wide range of applications in biological research. In this article we report on our experiences using a drone to explore the surface of hard to access small islands in the North of Ibiza (Balearic Islands, Spain) for possible occurrences of lizard populations. On one of these small and unnamed islets that we call “Escull a Punta de Llevant” we detected a hitherto unknown population of Podarcis pityusensis.
