Is a water course as small as the one shown in this photograph eligible for the name "stream" or should it be called something different? I tend to think of streams as a something more substantial than this, often being features that attract specific names. Perhaps this is a rivulet, a rill, a runnel or even a streamlet. It flows down from the Blorenge at Llanfoist, near Abergavenny in Wales. The Ordnance Survey 1:25000 doesn't give it a name but it may be called something in the locality. It was running briskly when I photographed it, catching the plentiful autumn leaves dropping on it from overhanging trees.
