Knowsley Safari Park

2 Tree Pipits - 1 flushed from west end of Ranch and flew south, 1 in bracken and on power-lines on Singleton's Hill
2 Spotted Flycatchers - 1 on power-lines over west end of Ranch, 1 near Ranch Pond
1 Lesser Whitethroat - 1st-winter in elders on Singleton's Hill
1 Sedge Warbler - prolonged views on fence near Ranch Pond
2 Wheatears - 1 Ranch, 1 on Singleton's Hill
6 Snipe - Section 1 Pit
The rapid transition from clear blue sky and light northerly winds early morning to total cloud-cover produced the first fall of the autumn: the 2 Tree Pipits, Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Spot. Fly. and 1 Wheatear were all grounded within a very small area on Singleton's
