Fishermen have caught anchovies in England's North Sea off the coast of Essex.

The fish are normally native to the warmer Mediterranean Sea. The waters of the North Sea are currently four degrees centigrade above average, at about 21 degrees C.

"In 40 years fishing from the pier I have never seen them before," [said angler Richard Holgate.]

Our wildlife is going through some major changes due to the seas being warmer.

We've also got insects we've never seen before flying about this summer.
