- [David] London.

Nine million people, two and a half million cars, and miles of concrete, tarmac, and steel.

- Good evening, sir.

Where to?

- Richmond, please.

- [Driver] Richmond it is.

Hello.

It's still a huge thrill to see a totally wild creature.

(wings flapping) - [Martin] What happens here is something I've been waiting to film for much of my life.

- [Narrator] Above flat, muddy waters, a natural wonder unfolds.

- [Martin] It's kind of like an empty stage waiting for the players to arrive.

- [Narrator] The players are seabirds in the thousands.

- [Martin] There is a well-rehearsed choreography at work here.

Right in the heart, there's one bird, a conductor, that's driving everything.

- [Narrator] It's a dance between an army of prey and a single predator, the peregrine falcon.

- It's this incredibly rich, complex drama laid out on a huge stage, two miles across, a mile high.

She's on the road.

I can see her.

It's incredible.

She was so close to me.

(exhales) I'm shaking.

Just stay dead still.

- [Narrator] The trials of motherhood will unfold.

- [Researcher] She's trying to keep him away from her cubs.
