	The news of a male Citril Finch on Fair Isle, Shetland this afternoon was unexpected and, with fog currently hampering flights, may prove tricky to catch up with. Further south the first-summer male Trumpeter Finch remained at Telscombe Cliffs, East Sussex, whilst at least one Black-headed Bunting was still on Fetlar, Shetland. New arrivals included a Bee-eater at Dungeness, Kent this evening with a Great White Egret mobile around the east of the county. The male Thrush Nightingale continued to sing at Minsmere RSPB, Suffolk, but rarely showed well. The superb Lesser Grey Shrike was still in Northumberland, at the Long Nanny Burn, as was the Whiskered Tern in Aberdeenshire, Bonaparte's Gull in Highland, Hooded Merganser in Dorset, but just four Red-footed Falcons were reported.
