A guide has told of the "hugely exciting" moment one of his groups discovered a rare species of fish near Coventry.

Alex Jones, from the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust, was taking members of the public around the River Sherbourne when somebody pointed out what he realised was a critically endangered European eel.

The find was made on 7 September, the first day of Coventry's River Festival.

It's miraculous! "The critically endangered European eel was found near Coventry city centre" ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ Just look at the state of that river bed.
