Mike Fox Posted February 6, 2020 Report Posted February 6, 2020 Hi Steve, You might like to check cookoo ray as a possibility... I'm away currently, and cant help more at this time. Mike Quote
lofty Posted February 6, 2020 Author Report Posted February 6, 2020 I’ve posted around the web and the majority is coming back as blondeSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Jim 1 Quote
great white Posted February 6, 2020 Report Posted February 6, 2020 looks like a small eyed to me faint stripes on the wings rather than small spots Quote
lofty Posted February 6, 2020 Author Report Posted February 6, 2020 I’m not going to count itSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
fisherman1055 Posted February 6, 2020 Report Posted February 6, 2020 looks like small eyed to me Quote
lofty Posted February 6, 2020 Author Report Posted February 6, 2020 So the results on various forums areSpotted - (unspotted)11Small eye -6Blonde - 6Cuckoo -5Isn’t it funny that the results are so equally split between very experienced anglersSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Matt Posted February 7, 2020 Report Posted February 7, 2020 Inconclusive although I reckon it will be one off the larger species as I'd think if it's one of the smaller rays it woul exhibit more of its adult traits for its size Jim 1 Quote
great white Posted February 7, 2020 Report Posted February 7, 2020 small spotted are very clearly marked, so I would think that one is out http://www.uk-fish.info/pages/smalleyedray.html http://www.uk-fish.info/pages/cuckooray.html http://www.uk-fish.info/pages/blonderay.html http://www.uk-fish.info/pages/spottedray.html above links are from the aquarium project, helped a lot by pictures taken by Steve Porter Jim 1 Quote
lofty Posted February 7, 2020 Author Report Posted February 7, 2020 Going through the images the closest would be SER. Stuie, Jim, fisherman1055 and 1 other 4 Quote
Maverick Martin Posted February 7, 2020 Report Posted February 7, 2020 Small Eye would be my call also Quote
Jim Posted February 7, 2020 Report Posted February 7, 2020 Ah! THAT's what a fish looks like. Difficult to tell without the Batter ! Quote
Steve S Posted February 14, 2020 Report Posted February 14, 2020 Always difficult to id the babies when we base our id info on adults. Come on Steve, go catch bigger ones and leave the babies alone! lofty 1 Quote
Coddy Posted February 14, 2020 Report Posted February 14, 2020 Looking at your top picture and the spines on the tail I would suggest Spotted Ray. I looked at the Shark Trust site https://www.sharktrust.org/Handlers/Download.ashx?IDMF=94352e39-167a-471d-8bc5-a5f9e9cff5fe Jim 1 Quote
Mal Thomas Posted February 17, 2020 Report Posted February 17, 2020 Small eyed, spines are correct. Cuckoo has black background with cream spots Quote
