EDITORS COMMENTS
Fishermen Reel in Rib-tickling Catch: Floundering Fun at Preston Dock!". In this hilarious snapshot, we witness a comical encounter between two skilled fishermen and their unexpected guest - an adorable European Flounder! These anglers were certainly not expecting such a delightful surprise as they cast their lines into the tidal river joining the entrance to Preston Dock. Caught off guard by this immature flatfish's mischievous appearance, one can't help but chuckle at its bewildered expression. With its eyes seemingly popping out of its head and a perplexed pout on its tiny mouth, it's clear that this little flounder is just as surprised by the situation as our fishermen! The picturesque backdrop of River Ribble adds to the charm of this scene, with the bustling cityscape of Preston providing an urban twist to nature's whimsy. As winter sets in and temperatures drop, these temperate waters become home to various marine species seeking refuge from colder Atlantic currents. This candid moment captured by FLPA photographer John Eveson reminds us that even during routine fishing trips, Mother Nature has her own plans for entertainment. So next time you're angling for adventure, keep your eyes peeled for cheeky critters like our floundering friend here – because you never know what surprises await beneath the surface!
