NATURE NOTES The autumn migration is under way: summer visitors are departing, and it won’t be long before wintering birds arrive from colder climes. Among those leaving the stage this month are little ringed plover, a small and rather smart looking plover with yellow spectacles which is first recorded to have bred here in 1938 and has since then established itself and spread to many parts of England and Wales. It has taken particularly well to old gravel, sand and clay pits, tips, ash lagoons, flooded quarries, airfields, open-cast mines and other ex-industrial areas, underlining the importance of many brownfield sites for nature, and was the star of the journalist, broadcaster and nature writer Kenneth Allsop’s 1949 novel, Adventure Lit Their Star. Melissa Harrison ON THIS DAY In 1810 a revolt began that led to the Mexican War of Independence against Spain, which ended in 1821; in 1976 the Episcopal Church in the US approved the ordination of women priests and bishops; in 1977 Maria Callas, the American-born Greek operatic soprano hailed as La Divina (the Divine one), died aged 53 of a heart attack, having spent her final years in relative isolation in Paris, France. The Times obituary wrote of the “operatic star of genius” that it was the “dramatic truth of her performances which conquered the world”. Her relationship with the shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis (who left her for Jackie Kennedy, widow of the former US president) “was the most widely publicised affaire in the world”; in 2016 Father Gabriele Amorth, a former war hero who became the Catholic Church’s leading exorcist (performing the rite more than 100,000 times over a 30-year career), died aged 91. “I speak with the Devil every day. I talk to him in Latin, he replies in Italian.” He had warned about children reading about magic in the Harry Potter books, yet his favourite film was The Exorcist. “The Devil is always hiding,” he warned, “and the thing he wants above all is that we don’t believe he exists.” (Obituary, September 22, 2016).
