One of our water butts gets smelly. It's the one which collects off the
house roof and lichen etc comes down. Is it that?
I intend opening the tap and draining it and leaving the tap open over
winter, hopefully it should clean it out with a wash through over winter.
(We will now have a very dry winter ;-)

I agree. Over years I've found a large floating rat and skeletons of
several small birds drowned in ours. Apparently victims of fatal nosiness.

Thanks for the suggestions folks. No, nothing in there except a mossy type
Lichen of the roof of the house.
Now drained with the tap open and it can stay like that until the Spring.
