What animals migrate in autumn. When hedgehogs are born there can be up to seven babies in a single litter their coat of spines are soft and short. 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. Birds and butterflies also are on the move in autumn.

Days are getting shorter leaves are turning brown and temperatures are dropping autumns here. Even rarer species like Yellow-browed Warbler are sometimes found amongst tit flocks in October and November. 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.

Across the world animals of all kinds migrate ranging from huge whales to tiny insects. Because temperatures begin to drop during the fall season these creatures begin to find more suitable conditions. Scientists are still studying this.

Birdwatching inland during the autumn can also produce some good birds with Pied Flycatchers waders and terns moving through. In the UK pipistrelle bats migrate in autumn from the north to spend winter in the warmer south-west. Monarch butterflies migrate 2950 miles in autumn 5900 miles round trip according to the Nature Education Knowledge Project.

To celebrate the arrival of this beautiful season take a look at our favourite autumn animals. In North America free-tailed bats migrate in huge numbers to hibernation sites in Texas and Mexico. As winter sets in Alaska most of the ocean animals migrate southwards to the warmer oceans prompting the grey whales to follow.

The whales have one of the longest migrating cycles among mammals. About 50 species in all leave our shores each year on a substantial southward journey to spend the British winter in gentler climates. Some of Britains resident birds like partridges never move than a kilometre from their birthplace but more than 40 per cent of the worlds bird population are migrants.
