An extremely rare blue lobster was discovered by a fisherman off the coast of Cornwall before being released back into the sea.
Tom Lambourn, 25, from Newlyn, had been fishing off the coastal town of Penzance when he captured the foot-long colourful crustacean in his lobster pot.
The fisherman photographed the rare one-in-two-million creature before releasing it back into the sea as it was too small to bring into land .
He said: With every pot you never know what is going to be inside, and I ve certainly never seen one that colour before.
