An environmentalist was "thoroughly embarrassed" after he caught, cooked and ate a rare crayfish.

Christopher Hemsley, 41, claimed he thought he was netting the non-native signal crayfish, which is not protected.

South Lakeland magistrates fined Hemsley, from Leeds, £4,000 yesterday.

Are you sure this wasn't from some old "Monty Python" episode?
I can really see John Cleese playing the part of Hemsley ;^)

How did the perp get caught? Did he turn himself in?
