Post by: Wildfisher on June 15, 2023, 07:53:27 PM
A Little Grebe or Dabchick catching fish to feed its chick today in Fife.

But what kind of fish is it?

Stickleback based on the shape of the tail in the second pic.

I'd also go with female due to the lack of colour.

It was the size that threw me. I thought it was a small perch until I saw the image on the PC screen.

They can grow up to 4 inches and remember Dabchick aren't exactly big :)
