Short spined sea scorpion, 2 Ballan wrasse and a tompot blenny. Hard to tell from the small photos but thats what it looks like to me. Nice fishing.

think that the boys above are right in i.d., not sure about the wrasse though
yeah, some nasty wee spines on some of the fish but none of these fish are poisonous
