And just like that, the 2024 season has come to an end. It may have claimed 2 pairs of bins, 6 pairs of boots and a lot of our sanity, but what a memorable season it has been! Many thanks to all those who have helped along the way to another broken year list record (pending VAR)

Now we’ve all had time to calm down a bit… what an evening! After frustrating views independently by Jack Morris, @maddyhine280 and @ZSpaull in the day, it took a last ditch trap round in the early evening to nail Britain’s 11th Black-faced Bunting.
