	A male River Warbler was singing for much of the day at Evie, Orkney, and has been present for three days. Nearby, the male Citril Finch remained on Fair Isle, although it is still very mobile and elusive. A Black Stork in Buckinghamshire was a good record for the county, and was just twitchable as it lingered in the Nether Winchendon area for a short while. The Great Reed Warbler was heard again briefly at Lakenheath Fen RSPB, and Red-footed Falcons were seen at Upton Fen, Norfolk and Collards Lake, Kent. Other lingering rarities included the Bonaparte's Gull at Loch Ruthven RSPB, Highland, Glossy Ibis at Marshside RSPB, Merseyside and Forster's Tern at Tacumshin, County Wexford.
