..to review older records of natural history sightings.
In 2008 we went to Cornwall in September. I blogged about our trip here and recorded a new species for my fish list - Ballan Wrasse. I have just fluked a discovery that my identification is wrong and the fish illustrated is in fact Corkwing Wrasse, a much better result!
I still haven't caught a Ballan, though, but this is a much more likely species to catch up here than the Corkwing....
Without the photo's this fish would have just remained incorrectly identified. Great combo the digi camera and t'internet...
