Burnstickle is a British dialectal name for the stickleback — the small, spiny freshwater fish (Gasterosteus aculeatus) found in streams and ponds across Britain and Europe. The name likely combines 'burn' (a Scottish and Northern English word for a stream) with 'stickle' (the fish's spines or a stony shallows). Dialectal and dated; most speakers today would simply say 'stickleback.' Of interest to dialect lovers and local natural history enthusiasts.
