Description
A charismatic male Tompot blenny (Parablennius gattorugine) peers confidently from its adopted home inside a discarded, encrusted pipe resting beneath the timber structures of Swanage Pier in Dorset. Famous for their expressive faces and vivid red orbital tentacles, these highly territorial fish frequently repurpose debris as nesting sanctuaries. The image highlighting how a piece of forgotten marine debris has been reclaimed as a micro-habitat for local marine wildlife.
