A "funny-looking" fish which is rare on the south coast of England has been found in Cornwall. The lumpsucker was discovered in Penwith by Constance Morris, a volunteer for Cornwall Wildlife Trust's Marine Strandings Network.

She said: "I work with Atlantic Adventures, we take people on wildlife watching boat tours and wild snorkeling out of Penzance. Andy Cowie, the owner and skipper, and myself also both volunteer for a few different marine wildlife charities, as we feel it's very important to look after our oceans and the life it holds.
 

"We both volunteer for the BDMLR (British Divers Marine Live Rescue), who do live marine mammal stranding, though Andy tends too do more for them, I find myself doing more for the Marine Strandings Network, who deal with the dead strandings. We both also volunteer for Mounts Bay marine group, who usually give talks, organise beach clean and other events.

"This is where the lumpsucker comes in. While walking a beach local to me, I found it along the strand line. I'd never seen one before, and they've not been recorded officially down in Penwith.
