*[135 - 2023-07-22 - Grottes fauconières - Saint Cyr - France](135%20-%202023-07-22%20-%20Grottes%20fauconières%20-%20Saint%20Cyr%20-%20France.md) - It's a really common fish out there, but it's difficult to get a great picture of it as it move fast and reflect a lot of light. *
## Notes
This one doesn't have the black stripe on its head, contrary to [Diplodus vulgaris - Two banded bream](Diplodus%20vulgaris%20-%20Two%20banded%20bream.md), but have some thin vertical stripes on the body. When the fish get older, it can loose thoses stripes and can still be identified using the black stripe on the tail.
