Based on an experience I had hiking a short mountain two years ago; as I reached the top, exhausted, a beautiful Eurasian Goshawk (Astur Gentilis) flew by, looked right at me and disappeared in the dark woods.

Bird #79 - Eurasian goshawk (LC)

Only nobles were allowed to fly these for falconry in the medieval period. They are ferocious raptors, sometimes hunting in pairs (one bird acting as distraction and the other ambushing), and have been reported pursuing prey for up to 15 minutes!!
