Sunday 13th October 2024  
  Find of the day was a Siberian Rubythroat late in the afternoon on North Ronaldsay in Orkney, although it was only seen briefly and could not be relocated by dusk. A drake White-winged Scoter was found at Gosford Bay in Lothian, although probably present for several days. Two Wilson's Snipes were identified on St.Mary's and a Red-throated Pipit flew over Land's End. There was also some late news of a Red-footed Booby on 6th September at sea off County Cork.

The Little Crake remained at Bosherston in Pembrokeshire and the Red-flanked Bluetail was again on The Lizard in Cornwall. Other lingering rarities included Canvasback in Essex, Lesser Scaup in Staffordshire, White-winged Scoter in Shetland, Pallid Harriers in both Norfolk and Pembrokeshire, Spotted Sandpiper in Fife, Long-billed Dowitcher in Orkney, Eastern Stonechat sp in Northumberland, Radde's Warbler in Dorset and both Paddyfield and Greenish Warblers on Unst in Shetland.
