Monday 4th July 2022
	The highlight of the day was the discovery of an Elegant Tern in County Wexford at Lady's Island Lake. Rarities elsewhere comprised both the Turkestan Shrike and Black-browed Albatross still together in East Yorkshire, American Black Tern in Northumberland, Wilson's Petrel at sea off the Isles of Scilly, King Eider in Lothian, and Bee-eaters in both Norfolk (6) and Suffolk. Scarcities included Surf Scoter (Northumberland), Night Heron (West Sussex), Serin (Somerset), two Temminck's Stints (Lincolnshire and Norfolk), and a total of 10 Glossy Ibises. Significant late news concerned a Snowy Owl present yesterday on the Shetland Isles at Ronas Hill, Mainland.
