Saw this lizard on my bamboo blind doing a jig. Presume mating ritual.

Good video. This is a male Garden Lizard, and that's his territorial display. He's telling you to get out of his face....

OK he was doing this earlier to another lizard, so I thought mating.

That is correct. They're the most common lizard around. The males are pretty striking in their mating colors, with a bright orange head, they also have a black spot on the side of the head.
