The spotted ray is one of the smallest species of skate, growing to only 80 cm.

This small sea snail is easily identifiable by the 3 brown spots on the top of its shell.

Small-spotted catsharks used to be called lesser-spotted dogfish - which might be what you know them best as. It's the same shark, just a different name!

These colourful little fish are a delight for snorkellers or shallow water divers to photograph, rarely being scared off by their presence!

The common spotted-orchid is the easiest of all our orchids to see: sometimes, so many flowers appear together that they create a pale pink carpet in our woodlands, old quarries, dunes and marshes…

These bulky beetles can sometimes be found on flowers in woodland rides or along hedgerows.
