Wildlife on your doorstep: October

There will be further autumnal signs in the northern hemisphere now October has shown up, while the southern hemisphere can finally begin to enjoy springtime. We'd like to see your photos of this month's wildlife near you

For the northern hemisphere the leaves will only get browner, and the ground frostier, with October signalling a further shift towards the colder darker winter months ahead. For the southern hemisphere the month should be pleasant, with new signs of life emerging in the wild and warmer spring sunshine to be enjoyed by all. So what sort of wildlife will we all discover on our doorsteps? We'd like to see your photos of the October wildlife near you.

Share your photos and videos with us and we'll feature our favourites on the Guardian site.
