Here we present the first photographic evidence of opportunistic predation of a small passerine, the Berthelot's pipit Anthus berthelotii madeirensis, on the Madeiran endemic lizard Teira dugesii mauli. The behaviour was observed in Deserta Grande, Madeira, and represents the second record of lizard predation by A. berthelotii and the first time this species is observed preying upon T. dugesii.
