A Peregrine Falcon

But why is this bird famous, you ask? This bird holds the worldwide record of the fastest diving speed.

He has left his signature under the high tree twice now for us to see. Two registered racing pigeons that he plucked out of the sky, and I managed to get the rings of the two dead birds. We took the rings of the first bird to our local vet, and on the second day there was another dead bird below the tree. I now also have to take the second set of rings to our vet. Thankfully for the bird's owner, we have not seen more birds of his, and I hope that he is flying his birds in another area.
