Your right not to remember the Bufflehead as I just realised that it was the year before that it turned up. 31/05/2004 to be exact.

The SEO's haven't been as reliable as previous years at both Croxall and Whitemoor. At Whitemoor I have had up to 7 birds at a time and I seem to recall someone reporting 9 there on at least one occasion.
