'Bottled blenny'
Kirsty Andrews
Butterfly blennies naturally choose abandoned whelk shells as their home but it seems they can get creative. On the seabed of the river Fal, amongst beautiful pink maerl, many have chosen to use discarded glass bottles as a shelter. Waste not want not.
Judge's comment: Characterful and cute this rare blenny is perfectly framed in its new home inside a glass bottle, with amazing eye contact that just grabs our attention.
