Tate Modern, 53 bankside, London, SE1 9TG

London's Southbank has always got something to feast your eyes upon and however bizarre or colourful, few things can match the majesty and implacability of the wild peregrine falcons that perch on the Tate Modern's chimney.

The RSPB will be next to the Millennium Bridge by the Tate Modern to help people discover the birds and see them close up through their telescopes.

Peregrines are the world's fastest living creatures and have special adaptations to help them breathe and see when diving on prey at 200 miles an hour. Traditionally they've nested on cliff in to cities, where it's warmer and there's a surplus of their favourite food, pigeons.

The RSPB trailer will be set up from 12pm until 7 pm so there' plenty of time to see the falcons, LIVE. There's also recorded webcam footage of peregrine chicks on a London nest and the opportunity to find out how you can influence and support wildlife and the world around you.
