Hawkforce is a UK company specializing in training birds or prey for all sorts of things. This handler and his falcon (I think that's a falcon) have arrived in the plaza area in front of the Royal Academy or Art in London. Pigeons and other birds nest in the various nooks and crannies of the fine old buildings around the plaza and the by-products leave a big stinky mess all over. The falcon will be released to circle around the plaza for an hour or so scaring off the other birds. The falcon doesn't attack or kill them, he/she just frightens them off. It's a safe and environmentally sound way of dealing with nuisance birds.
