PEEK-A-BOO FISH: BRIT SNAPPER MAKES RARE FIND

A Brit photographer has captured one of the world's most camera-shy species of fish - during a game of underwater peek-a-boo. First you see him, now you don't - the Whitemargin Stargazer fish is one of the most elusive sea creatures to marine photographers due to their unusual hunting habits. So when Milton Keynes snapper Matt Oldfield, 40, was diving off the coast of the volcanic island of Sangeang in Indonesia, he was amazed to have finally spied one. Just as Matt began to take the fish's picture, the formidable predator broke cover to investigate.
