At the speed in which they navigate flight is impressive to say the least. From the Falcon's viewpoint we must look like we are either standing still like mannequins or moving very slow like molasses.

Know that feeling! near where I live there is this industrial area whre some seagulls nest, when they have chicks they sometimes drop down from the roofs as they learn to fly, made the mistake once to walk through there when they were hatching
First 1 seagull hovering above, few screams and then there were 5, about 5min after there was about 40 I ran like hell, 5 at a time making HUUUUGE dive attacks pretty protective!
