Birdwatching inland during the autumn can also produce some good birds with Pied Flycatchers waders and terns moving through.

Many birds and insects migrate to warmer areas during the chillier months of fall. Birds and butterflies also are on the move in autumn. Some even cross the channel to reach southern Europe.

Here in the UK the most obvious migrants are birds. Its worth spending some time looking at tit flocks as these often harbour warblers like Blackcap and Chiffchaff. They fatten themselves up in the spring and summer before entering a very deep sleep in the autumn.

As winter sets in Alaska most of the ocean animals migrate southwards to the warmer oceans prompting the grey whales to follow. Around the month of October the gray whales in the Alaskan waters start the migration from the feeding ground to the Gulf of California and Baja peninsula. Natures changes in autumn are a sad reminder of the cycle of life.

Birds can fly very long distances. The whales have one of the longest migrating cycles among mammals. Other migratory creatures include whales and dolphins bats butterflies and fish.
