However, getting out and about in nature at this time of year can lead you to many amazing natural sights! Make sure that you have the right equipment for walking, such as warm clothing, strong boots and, if you need help to walk, walking aids like this https://www.abilitysuperstore.com/collections/walking-aids, and head out in the autumn to see if you are fortunate enough to see any of these fantastic sights.
Starling Murmuration
Around November is one of the best times to look out for the vast clouds of starlings that move around almost as one giant unit in the air. The best time of day to catch them is in the evening before the sun sets.
The Salmon Run
Walking alongside a river in the autumn might be a time when you see one of nature’s greatest and most mysterious spectacles. The salmon run is when Atlantic salmon return from the sea to the rivers where they were born. Watch them leap up the river on their way to spawn. There is still much mystery surrounding how the salmon know the time and place to return.
Deer Rut
Autumn is the time when male deer fiercely compete with one another for the attention of the females, and you may be fortunate enough to see this stunning display. If you do come across a deer rut, stand well back and take care not to disturb them.
