   @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.

     Which makes the bird's struggles all the funnier/more ironic. I mean, peregrins are •built• to slice through 200mph winds (that's the speeds they can reach in a power dive), so it seems odd that figuring this out while stationary wouldn't be, like, automatic.

     Yes, pretty sure that's a peregrin.
