Has anyone got any info on this bird from today. I was there today for a good few hours searching and didnt even see anyone else, just seemed odd?

It was on the reservoir at 06:30 during my webs, although after walking round i was informed by a birder i know that he had not seen it at 0715 when he had looked. I scanned the sea whilst talking to him, the time was probably about 08:00 and picked up two distant wigeon, one of which i am sure was the American-difficult to be 100% sure due to direction of the light though.
