First independent migration to the north of subadult Northern Bald Ibises hatched in 2021 and 2022 (Eugen) after getting to know their migration route by human help.

Bald ibis nesting wall in Uberlingen, Southern Germany. Several bald ibises have returned this year to breed here. The chicks have already hatched and can be seen. 😍
Look at this: 35 soaking wet bald ibises snuggling up with each other and their foster Moms.
The storm with heavy rain and lots of wind arrived a bit unexpectedly...
But no bird got lost. All of them are safe.

More photos from the bald ibis training camp in Binningen. 35 bald ibises are trained to follow a microlight plane. The foster parents Helena and Barbara play a central role in convincing the juvenile birds that this is safe.

Training camp in Binningen close to the Swiss border. 35 bald ibises are trained today to follow a small plane as a preparation for their migration to Spain later this year. However, a heavy storm has ended the training earlier than planned.
@captainkeeken has arrived in yellow trousers at the training camp. Only the foster parents are allowed to wear yellow clothes, though. So Rainer had to cover up. 😁
More than 2 dozens men were killed during the construction of Jungfrau Railway. You find their names during the "tour" of Jungfraujoch.
It was a fascinating day up there on Jungfraujoch! We learned so much about high altitude research and enjoyed nature's wonders. But there's also a lot of profiteering: Often Jungfraujoch feels more like an adventure park than a mountain, with "tourist attractions" everywhere.
Through a hole in the mountain we left Jungfraustation and went for a short hike on the Aletsch Glacier while the weather was continuously changing between snow storm and being so warm we wanted to get rid of our jackets...
