Thrilled to meet my 1st ever Tench in Burwell Lode; less thrilled that new camera on wrong setting for capturing the great views.
Plenty of small Silver Bream & lovely White Water Lilies.

Was videoing some friendly, inquisitive Bitterlings in Burwell Lode when was almost run over by a squadron of 4 large Common Bream!

Here, a Bitterling male is chasing off a rival. Not sure what the behaviour is at the end?
Bitterlings are non- natives from central & E Europe. #BurwellLode #Upware #Chalkstreams #fens #fenland #thefens #Cambridgeshire #FreshwaterFish #bitterling #bitterlings #30dayswild

Masses of Roach and also lots of Rudd in Burwell Lode & Wicken Lode today. Only saw one really big fish - more than a foot... maybe a Carp (no photo)?
