Among the mangrove-like drowned willows of Lac de Sainte-Croixshimmered great shoals of young Bleak (silverly long & thin, reminiscent of sand eels) Dace (who I always think look cross) & Perch (with characteristic dark spot on their dorsal fin). #Aiguinues #LacdeSainteCroix 3/4

Delightful to find teaming silvery shoals of young Bleak (Alburnus alburnus), Dace (Leuciscus leuciscus) & Roach (Rutilus rutilus) in Lac de Sainte-Croix, clustered in the shelter provided by fallen trees. #Bauduen #LacdeSainteCroix #CotedAzurFrance #freshwaterfish #Verdon 3/6
