A FAIRLY rare summer visitor to the Isle of Wight โ€” the Ocean Sunfish โ€” has been spotted and snapped off Gurnard Bay.

In the UK, sunfish may be seen between June and September and are most often spotted off south-west England.

The fish species, known scientifically as Mola mola, was photographed in The Solent by County Press reader, Amy Ferrier, yesterday (Thursday, June 20).
