Boeing 777 223ER with winglets

Spotted over Gloucestershire on the climb-out of Heathrow. AAL87 with zip-tips!
Thought the design of the wing on the triple 7 precluded the need for zip-tips?
BTW you didn't need binoculars to spot them either. At 20000ft they stood out like.....well like big winglets!
The last photo of this particular aircraft on a well known site was September where it is depicted sans tips.
Must have been a recent addition.
