Wintersett Res Gull Roost:Per Steve Denny @StevieD131 .
This Laugher imposter caused a stir for a while in the  Wintersett roost tonight. Went down as aberrant Common Gull but hybrid Med may be an option.  The mask wasn’t as clear cut in real life, I think the photos have enhanced the contrast a bit and make it stand out more.
Here is a couple of photos to discuss/comment on.




Odonata: Common Darter 2 ACP.
