Sky Diving Barnacle Goose Chick

I spotted this from BBC Earth in my Twitter feed, they apparently nest on these high cliffs to avoid predators such as Arctic Foxes, alas however there's no food up there so they have to make this 120m jump to where the parent birds are waiting and calling out for them.

I must admit I've never seen anything like this.
