More tree pipits on Billinge Hill

I was at Billinge Hill North Top looking for flycatchers in the pine wood when I heard the familiar "tzeet" call of a tree pipit. I couldn't say if the bird had been in the trees or simply flying over but suddenly I saw two birds flying away from me and heading down the hill to the same wires on which I had seen two tree pipits on 19th August, about 100m from where I was standing. I followed them down the field and found not two but three tree pipits on the wires.
