Love Nest Underwater - A Lamprey Romance in the River Test!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness a truly unique love story unfolding beneath the surface of the River Test. Meet our stars of the show - a pair of adult Sea Lampreys, deeply engrossed in their redd nest on a stony riverbed. These enchanting creatures have chosen this picturesque spot in Hampshire, England to embark on their breeding journey. With its European charm and British flair, this underwater scene showcases nature's incredible beauty and diversity. The male lamprey proudly guards their nesting site while his female partner gracefully hovers nearby. Together, they create an idyllic picture of aquatic affection. As summer fills the air with warmth and joy, these migratory lampreys have traveled far from temperate Europe to find each other once again. Their synchronized migration has brought them together for spawning season - a time when they release countless eggs into the water. But let's not forget about their fascinating lifestyle! As parasitic migrants, these jawless wonders play an essential role in maintaining freshwater ecosystems by keeping populations of other fish species under control. So dive into this extraordinary moment captured by photographer Jack Perks! Let it remind us that even beneath tranquil waters lies a world full of surprises and love stories waiting to be discovered.
