3rd octave trill fingerings?

One of my pieces called for a bunch of trills in the third octave, and I only know one. Please help?

Here's a link to a chart:

There's also a page with fourth-octave fingerings (click at bottom of previous page).
Pellerite's Modern Guide to Fingerings for the Flute (Zalo/Alfred) is full of regular, trill, multiphonic and other fingerings in all registers. A worthy purchase for any flute library.

Excellent suggestions from Melizzard. Also keep in mind that not every flute reacts the same way to third octave fingerings, whether trill or otherwise, so it might be worth your time to experiment with less standard fingerings, or even work to create your own if the trills don't sound quite right.
