Sunday 24th March 2024  
  The highlight of the day was the discovery of an adult male Bufflehead in Aberdeenshire on Sand Loch at dusk. Perhaps all the sightings of adult male Bufflehead this winter in both Ireland - in County Galway 13th-16th January, County Westmeath 27th February-12th March, and County Cavan on 13th March - and Britain - in Clyde on 19th March and in Aberdeenshire today - are the same individual heading northeast.

Rarities elsewhere comprised the Myrtle Warbler still in Ayrshire, Rustic Bunting and Coues's Arctic Redpoll reported as still together Norfolk, Pallid Harriers in Carmthenshire/Glamorgan and Norfolk, Lesser Yellowlegs in Lincolnshire, Long-billed Dowitchers in Norfolk, County Wexford, and County Wicklow, and Lesser Scaups still in County Armagh and Clyde, and new in Cumbria (2) and Suffolk (5).
