Have never seen so many tiny baby Bullheads - some only 1 cm long - as in Wissey Little River today - all out in the open. Ultra cute & even more confiding than Brown Trout parr.

In the Little Ouse downstream of the A11 at Thetford, Bullheads were plentiful, including 1st time I've seen 2 & 3 under a single rock. These characterful fish, with their gothic black lipstick, never cease to delight me.

Masses of skittish young Dace in the Little Ouse, sometimes schooling with young Roach.

Lifted a likely bit of pottery & sure, enough a handsome, chunky Bullhead was in residence.

Did ever a girl better know her Mum's heart than Tessa Sutherland, for my birthday depicting my latest love interest; a Bullhead. On #WorldMigratoryBirdDay #GlobalBirding split loyalties with #chalkstreams. Happy Birthday too #SirDavidAttenborough; guess you also like #bullheads!

The top right eggs are younger, no little eyes. The♂️Bullhead may live in the same cave all his life, enticing♀️in to lay eggs then driving her off, guarding the eggs & fry himself till they are independent. What's not to love? #Bullhead #Bullheads #freshwaterfishes #Hadleigh 2/8

The best Easter gift ever - my first BULLHEAD! In the delightful lower reaches of Cavenham Mill Stream. Quite confiding - with a prehistoric vibe.
