Fudge Duck at Priory Country Park in a ten minute twitch

I stopped at Priory Country Park today to see if I could connect with the Fudge Duck. The weather was bad, wet and windy would sum it up well.
Priory Country Park

I parked in the car park of Barkers Lane and walked the twenty feet or so to the edge of the lake.
Within seconds I have the Ferruginous Duck in my scope (154) and then the guy that found the bird approaches to ask if I've found it and to say he can't find the Black Necked Grebe that has been reported so I oblige and locate it for him but it also gives me tick number 155 for the year.
Ten minutes birding gave me two quality ticks for the year.
