The warbler was found at a record altitude of 3,200 meters, expanding its known habitats to include willows, highlighting the importance of preserving fragmented landscapes.

Pakistan Flood HORROR: Pakistan is reeling from catastrophic monsoon floods that have killed at least 321 people in just 48 hours, the National Disaster Management Authority confirmed on Saturday. Most of the victims—307—were in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where flash floods swept away entire villages and homes. Nine deaths were reported in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and five in Gilgit-Baltistan. Torrential rains, landslides, and washed-out roads are crippling rescue efforts, with more rainfall forecast. The provincial government has declared Buner, Bajaur, Swat, Shangla, Mansehra, and Battagram disaster-hit zones. Over 2,000 rescuers are working relentlessly, often on foot, to reach survivors trapped in debris, as machinery and ambulances struggle to reach cut-off areas. Many families refuse to evacuate, mourning loved ones buried beneath rubble. The government has issued an urgent rain alert, warning of more devastation to come. International attention is now on Pakistan’s fragile infrastructure and the scale of this unfolding humanitarian disaster.
