Birds Migrating - Seasonal Change - Year 1
Science Resource Description
When autumn approaches, one of the natural phenomena observed in England is the migration of birds. This seasonal movement involves birds flying collectively to seek out more favourable climates as the weather changes. Preparing for their long journey, these birds exhibit various behaviours that signal their imminent departure. Observers might notice groups of birds congregating on electric wires or creating captivating formations in the sky, each species adopting its unique pattern of preparation for migration.
The changing of seasons brings about many noticeable transformations in the environment, with autumn being particularly marked by the abundance of leaves carpeting the ground. As trees prepare for the colder months, they shed their leaves, resulting in the colourful autumnal scenes of red, yellow, and brown foliage that become a characteristic feature of the landscape. This natural cycle is not only a visual spectacle but also a crucial part of the ecosystem's preparation for the winter ahead.
