What Animals Migrate In Autumn

Berries that emerge on bushes provide important nutrients for migratory birds such as crows and geese as they pass through on their seasonal migration routes.

What animals migrate in autumn. Natures colors in autumn are not as bright as they are in spring. And we see the arrival of migrant Geese and Swan species in the Autumn as they escape the. But at the same time many bird species such as geese swans and ducks migrate to Britain in autumn overwintering on our shores before leaving once more in spring.

To celebrate the arrival of this beautiful season take a look at our favourite autumn animals. Hibernation is the most appealing tactic if you ask me. About 50 species in all leave our shores each year on a substantial southward journey to spend the British winter in gentler climates.

Many species fly south to warmer climates including Monarch butterflies which typically pass through the Charlotte area in late September-early October during their annual migration to Mexico. When the seasons change animals migrate to new homes. Many birds and insects migrate to warmer areas during the chillier months of fall.

Their migration journeys coincide with the changing of the seasons with Britains winter residents arriving during autumn from colder countries to the north and east. Even rarer species like Yellow-browed Warbler are sometimes found amongst tit flocks in October and November. Monarch butterflies migrate 2950 miles in autumn 5900 miles round trip according to the Nature Education Knowledge Project.

Birdwatching inland during the autumn can also produce some good birds with Pied Flycatchers waders and terns moving through. Its worth spending some time looking at tit flocks as these often harbour warblers like Blackcap and Chiffchaff. Why animals are driven to migrate As the year turns millions of birds and animals cross oceans and continents but climate change.

Days are getting shorter leaves are turning brown and temperatures are dropping autumns here. Here in the UK the most obvious migrants are birds. Across the world animals of all kinds migrate ranging from huge whales to tiny insects.
