Anyone got any thoughts on this gull currently at Chew Valley Lake, just south of Bristol, and present since the end of October.
It is not that large, about the size of a Lesser Black-backed, and seems to be faithful to a small part of the lake, just off the main picnic site. It tends to sit on the water, on its own, but when the local gulls get fed by the public it comes in low and harries them for scraps. It is quite aggressive.

I'd already posted this message on the ID forum but have just noticed there is a specialist Gulls forum.
Thanks
