Had some prawn pots down for bait collecting at the green in Menai Bridge. Brought the pot up and along with the crabs, prawn and blennys was this little fella. I must warn you, it's not the best photo in the world as it was taken on the phone!!!

It's a fifteen spinned stickleback or, as Gaz said - a sea stickleback.
We used to get them in a push net when we were kids holidaying at abersoch
