Grey Phalarope K G V Reservoir

A quick visit to King George Reservoir in Chingford it's only local to me & the Phalarope has been seen here for a few days.
Jimmy had already ticked the bird on Thursday but came over with me to help spot it.
We walk all the way around the south basin stopping from time to time to scan the water but after over an hour there is no sign.
So we finish the loop & just before we head down the slope to the car Jimmy gives it one last scan & bingo he has it in the scope.
The water was very choppy so we expected it to be more on the edge in the calmer water but it was found right in the middle of the reservoir, so another year tick for me.
