Anglers CP Gull Roost was disappointing tonight.  3 adult Lesser Black-backed Gulls were the highlight.

Walton Hall Lake:  Psycho, the adult Yellow-legged is Gull still here.  He has mellowed in recent years, and is much admired by all the Wintersett birders. Follow the link to see @kriswhitts photograph.

 @StevieD131 agrees - Psycho is 10 years old now, having first turned up as a second summer bird in 2012.   He regularly paired up with a LBB Gull, but has been single for a couple of years now.
