Meeting with falcon

This week I opened the door into the garden and right behind it a peregrine falcon appeared with a dead magpie in its mouth. It flew into a near by shed not even 5 meters away and stayed there completely still for a good long while and we simply gazed at each other...when I moved slightly, it flew off landing in a fence and just hang there on one side and the magpie on the other...My only thought was, don't tell me it's stuck there, as it seemed that way...but no no, it wasn't stuck but made some fast turns in the air and landed on its feet again - not losing sight of me and quietly left the terrain.
