Mid September brings us more...
Wildlife
September is a good time to watch birds returning to estuaries, wetlands, gardens and parks after migrating from the north and growing their winter plumage. Other species have fattened themselves before embarking on the long journey to Africa. On sunny days, look also for the dragonflies in wetland areas and bees and wasps feeding on late-flowering ivy. Preparations for winter begin yet do not fully finish until November. Larger animals feast on the autumn harvest and create stores of food, such as nuts, to tide them over until spring.
