A short visit to the King George V Reservoir in Chingford this morning. Arriving at first light to find the water surface much calmer than expected. Hopefully making my two targets this morning, Slavonian Grebe and Scaup easier to locate.
I started with a slow walk along the Eastern edge heading towards the sailing club hut. Stopping and scanning any likely looking candidates on route. While scanning the South Western edges the Slavonian Grebe was found. Occasionally being harassed by a Great Crested Grebe.
The South basin held an impressive number of Goldeneye, Scanning just from the Eastern edge I counted 26. A single Goosander was found at the North Western edge and shortly afterwards the Scaup popped up among a group of Tufted Ducks.
After returning to the ramp I scanned again for the Slav Grebe and was surprised to find two Slavonian Grebes swimming together.
