i put this in the wrong forum the first time.

i found this on my first ever freedive off the coast of northwest donegal (ireland) , on a rocky shore, a boat ramp, and many many many fish. a very nice surprise when i checked in the field guide and found it was a montagu's blenny, which only reaches the very southern tip of ireland, and there were no recorded sightings farther north. mine was like this but had a bright orange crest, meaning it was a male. does anyone know where i can report this? i think im gonna stick with this freediving spot, my first dive gave me a bait ball of sandeels, 2 gurnards, 1 mullet, and a flounder the size of my torso. not bad for chest deep water, at most 1 inch over my head. sorry about the picture, i tried to edit it, or get a better one. its the fish on the right.
