This stunning lad, ringed as ZA6 and nicknamed “Drayton”, ended up grounded and needed a rescue. He has since been flying well along with his 3 siblings #peregrinefalcon #ornithology #birds #ukbirds vimeo.com/1091013906

Sobering drone footage!
SPEECHLESS BEFORE / AFTER #BLATTEN

The magnitude of destruction after the 3:24 pm collapse of Birch Glacier is immense! 😱

All the forest has been razed and the ice/wood/debris dammed the Lonza river 🌊

Some buildings of Blatten are buried 🏠

Watched #Ocean yesterday. Took tissues for the gut-wrenching parts but managed to hold it together! Fingers crossed we protect 30% of marine areas by 2030 #30x30. Only 21 of the required 60 countries have ratified vs. signed so far.. treaties.un.org/Pages/ViewDe...
