The rare long-snouted seahorse was spotted by Alicia Shephard during a lunchtime walk at a location in Cornwall not being disclosed to protect the species.

The sighting has also been reported to the Environmental Records Centre for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. The centre collates data on all species sightings in the region, not just the rare and protected, for research and conservation purposes.
