The fastest bird on the planet is probably marking you out as 'potential prey' from high above, especially if you're shopping near the Capitol shopping centre ;)

The peregrine falcons are back - nesting on the clock tower at Cardiff City Hall again for the fourth year running.

These amazing falcons can fly up to three times faster than a speeding cheetah and have been clocked doing 200 mph!

As usual you can catch all of the aerial action either by using a good pair of binoculars or by popping into the and watching them on a display screen via a live webcam.

It's thought there are eggs in the nest as the female has been seen, sitting frequently - so watch this space for updates.
