Not what you think. 
We have a Cathedral at the back of our office and half way up its got a nest, and in the nest are a family of Perguine Falcons rare endangered spiecie of bird. They have kindly set up webcams so we can keep a track on them, So far Mother bird has laid 4 eggs, see below.

we have a family of them at work also, (forth rail bridge) seen some awsome fights between them and the pigeons and seagulls. falcon always wins in the end they tease them for a while untill they tire out then one flap of the wings and their about a hundred feet above the prey
, then its a dive attack and a huge puff of feathers lol.

Always have a look up at the Cathedral when I wander round town, never seen anything up there though, thought i'd at least see them flying around a bit.
Personally didn't think Peregrines were endangered, but they're awesome! Fastest animal on the planet iirc, can reach 200kph+ in a dive
Edit to back up the endangered bit... - "This iconic bird of prey is also one of the world's most widely distributed birds, found on every continent except Antarctica"
