This article was produced by National Geographic Traveller (UK). Seeing any animal in the wild is a privilege — but seeing huge numbers is something else. For a start, it’s both humbling and heartening to encounter any species in abundance. It’s also genuinely exciting. When big groups of creatures seasonally cluster in one place, there’s always something to watch — from courting and mating to fighting or family-raising. It may be a sensory assault, too: noise, tumult, pungent smells, crashing waters, mad flurries of dust. And where masses gather to move together, hungry predators may lurk, adding a macabre but fascinating dimension. Here, we’ve picked the most dramatic migrations through the year and around the globe. Monarch Butterflies, MexicoWhen to go: December to MarchHow does an insect the weight of a paperclip make a journey of 3,000 miles? That’s the feat of the extraordinary monarch butterfly, which somehow flutters from its summer breeding grounds — spread across Canada and the American northeast — to a patch of oyamel fir forest in the highlands west of Mexico City.

Israeli settlers attack European diplomats during West Bank olive harvest - Al Jazeera
Israeli settlers have attacked European diplomats, including a French mayor, near the Palestinian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank. The delegation was visiting Palestinian olive harvesters on Saturday when the Israeli attackers confronted the group. The attack comes a day after settlers assaulted a US journalist north of Ramallah. In Saturday’s incident, the settlers targeted Belgium’s consul general, French and Polish diplomats and Catholic representatives, Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said. “A French mayor was assaulted and a Belgian vehicle damaged,” Prevot said, linking the attack to what he called Israel’s “illegal settlement policy” and pledging to push for further European Union sanctions. French mayor Bernard Baudoux, who was assaulted, told the AFP news agency that the violence suggests that “there is a tolerance on the part of the Israeli government” towards settler violence. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh, reporting from Ramallah, said the settlers surrounded the diplomats’ vehicles, pelted them with stones and smashed their windows.
