Butterfish – Pholis gunnellus 

Finding a fish on the rockyshore is always exciting! Although a first sight you might think youv’e found a mini eel, but a butterfish has a redder/browner colour and gorgeous dots along its back. Its a pretty common fish on the rocky shore, often found hiding under rocks until the tide comes back in. It was the first fish I found when I got hold of my Olympus TG5 camera, see videos of this species up close in this video.
