	Today's main talking point was the continued presence of Britain's first Citril Finch on Fair Isle, Shetland. Present for much of the day, the bird was trapped and released early evening, and was seen for just half an hour afterwards, before it flew off into the fog. Other lingering birds included the Thrush Nightingale at Dunwich Heath NT, Suffolk, which remained very elusive all day, and a much more obliging Bee-eater which was present all afternoon at Northrepps, Norfolk. A Whiskered Tern was present for a few minutes at Barton-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire, with the longer staying bird still in Aberdeenshire. The impressive male Lesser Grey Shrike showed well all day at Long Nanny Burn, Northumberland, whilst the male Black-headed Bunting was still on Fetlar, Shetland, with a host of scarce migrants also on the Northern Isles.
