Ever seen a fish with wings? 🪽
Meet the Flying Gurnard, one of the most fascinating creatures you can spot while diving on the Costa del Sol!
Despite its name, this fish doesn't actually fly! But with its enormous, wing-like fins and unusual movements, you can see where the name comes from!
It uses specialised parts of its pectoral fins to explore the seabed in search of food. And when it spreads those fins wide, it reveals the most stunning blue patterns! 💙
Have you ever spotted one underwater? 👀
