The sunfish is one of my favourite creatures, and this image has been in my mind
since I first saw two sunfish several years ago while on a dive boat in the Isles of
Scilly. These curious fish fascinated me, just resting on the surface (rather like giant
dustbin lids!) lazily flapping their fins, basking in the sun. Their slightly sad
expressions and quiet gracefulness captivated me. In May '99, with the help of the
National Marine Aquarium, I was able to do some work at L'Aquarium in Barcelona,
and I was thrilled to discover that they had some sunfish. I was amazed to see how
quickly they can move, and apparently even jump!
