EDITORS COMMENTS
Guess who's playing hide-and-seek at the bottom of this pond? It's none other than the elusive Tench, master of camouflage! This adult Tench, with its stunning Asian origins and striking eyes, has found the perfect hiding spot among the leaf litter in Yorkshire, England. Talk about blending in with style! As winter blankets the British countryside, this clever fish knows how to stay warm and hidden from prying eyes. With its submerged position and expertly chosen leafy disguise, it's like a secret agent of the aquatic world. But don't be fooled by its covert nature; this Tench is no ordinary fish. As a member of the cyprinid family, it shares lineage with some of Europe's most fascinating freshwater species. Its presence adds an exotic touch to these English waters. Photographed by Malcolm Schuyl from FLPA Images (not your average company), this print captures a moment frozen in time – a glimpse into the mysterious underwater realm that often goes unnoticed. So next time you're near a pond in Yorkshire during February or any other European temperate winter month for that matter, keep an eye out for our stealthy friend lurking beneath those leaves. Who knows what other hidden treasures await us beneath those tranquil waters?
