Blue-Spotted Mudskipper - a photo on Flickriver

Blue-Spotted Mudskipper

            I spent three consecutive mornings getting to a patch of mud in Krabi Town, Thailand, just before sunrise. 

Each visit I spent a couple of hours living in the mud with these guys. 

It's messy work but very rewarding when you see the action unfold around you (or on you!) as they display to each other, dig burrows and even fight!

This one is chilling whilst half heartedly displaying - it was a little late in the morning by this stage and tempers were starting to calm down as more of the 'skippers were just filter feeding on the mud.

It's not a species I've seen much attention given to before so I really went for it and have a good number of photos to share! 

Sorry in advance for the mudskipper overload!!
