At first the reports were unreliable, a glimpse here, an alleged sighting there…

This Bozo seemed fascinated by his own reflection in the camera lens

Then finally in late December one of the DCMR team manged to capture on film, not once, but twice, the creatures who has become collectively known as ‘BOZOs’  in and around the Marina Rubicon dive centre.

Our first attempt at capturing the Bozo on film

After weeks of bating these usually shy creatures with a combination of coffee and cakes the magic moment finally arrived when 2 of these fascinating animals, thought to be amphibious,  broke cover to gorge on the tempting treats.

Of course Lizzie was there with camera at the ready, these images have not been edited  in any way.
