Peek-a-Boo Lobster - A Crustacean's Hide-and-Seek Adventure in the Underwater Wonderland!

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by the talented Alex Mustard, we witness a delightful moment beneath the waves. Our star of the show is none other than a mischievous Common lobster (Homarus gammarus), who has found itself a cozy hideout amidst an enchanting forest of Oarweed kelp (Laminaria hyperborea). With its beady eyes peeking out from its secret abode, it seems as though this lobster is playing an underwater game of peek-a-boo! Adding to the magical scene are the vibrant Dead man's fingers (Alcyonium digitatum), gently swaying in harmony with the ocean currents. These soft corals create a whimsical backdrop for our curious crustacean friend. As we explore further, we can't help but marvel at the intricate ecosystem thriving below sea level. The yellow-green algae and brown kelp provide shelter and sustenance for countless marine creatures, while also creating a stunning visual spectacle. This extraordinary photograph was highly commended in the Habitat Category of the British Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards 2017 – and rightfully so! It serves as a gentle reminder that even within our own world, there are hidden wonders waiting to be discovered. So next time you find yourself near Northumberland's Farne Islands, don't forget to keep an eye out for these playful lobsters and their mesmerizing underwater playground!
