Poor creature T_T

@volpeon Windy as a bastard

@volpeon Yes, that’s pretty windy!

@volpeon

@volpeon I was just thinking about that today. When the weather is stormy, wet and freezing cold and we worry our homes might be washed or blown away, there are birds trying to keep their eggs or young warm and safe in those same conditions, but considerably more difficult.

@volpeon Oh my gosh, I love this!

@volpeon

Oh, that poor bugger! On video for all the relatives to see, too How undignified.

@volpeon this is phenomenal, do you know where is from?

@sarahdalgulls There wasn't a source mentioned, but I'm pretty sure it's from here: peregrinus.pl/en/lodz

@volpeon thank you! and thank you for sharing it, I can't stop laughing at the poor thing

@volpeon oh nooooo

@volpeon

omg this is aawesome! Poor gal!

@volpeon Oh no the poor bird

@volpeon oh my god this is too precious not to alt.

if you want to copy paste :
short video of a small bird of prey (peregrine falcon ?) laying on her nest. First the wind ruffles her feathers, then ruffles some more, and as she tries to settle herself she exposes her backside to the wind, and is completely flipped over, exposing her three eggs. For a brief moment, she lays on her back, feet in the air, head on the ground, looking bummed, then settles back and carefully tucks the eggs under her.

@volpeon @KathyKahner look!

Get rotated idiot

@volpeon

For someone whose whole JOB is aerodynamics, it seems to take her a bit to figure out to face into the wind. Poor baby!

@leroimiracle @volpeon

Yes, pretty sure that's a peregrin.

@volpeon poor little bird
