Thursday 15th September 2022  
  The highlight of the day was the reappearance of the Double-crested Cormorant in County Leitrim at Doon Lough where it has last been seen on 16th April. Lingering rarities elsehere included the Eastern Olivaceous Warbler still in County Dublin, Pallid Harrier in Norfolk, Red-footed Falons in both Kent and Lancashire, Bee-eater in Dorset, and Ferruginous Duck in Northamptonshire.

On the Shetland Isles Great Snipe, Common Rosefinch, and two Lapland Buntings were on Fair Isle, and on Mainland Western Bonelli's Warbler, Citrine Wagtail, and Red-backed Shrike were all logged. On the Isles of Scilly a Western Bonelli's Warbler was new on Bryher, and on St Mary's Short-toed Lark, Red-backed Shrike, and four Wrynecks were recorded.

Elsewhere rarities found today comprised a Citrine Wagtail in Dorset at Lodmoor, an Arctic Warbler on the Western Isles on Barra, a White-billed Diver passing County Durham and later Northumberland, and Bee-eaters briefly in Dorset, Suffolk, and the Isle of Wight.
