Yes, we have had them nesting in the centre of Cambridge for about a decade, occasionally they kill a pigeon in front of the tourists. The porters of Pembroke College sometimes have to rescue fledglings fallen on the road.
We've got some rather unwelcome wildlife - rats moving in as the weather deteriorates. Little Miss Feet freaked out at the one abseiling off the oil inlet to the boiler this evening.
We occasionally had rats when we used to keep chickens but at least they were outside even if close to the house. No chance of any rodents now though, as Mochi the cat is an efficient hunter. The only rodents we have had in the house are the mice she has brought in to play with 🙄
Grey squirrels have completely stripped my olive tree of all its fruit. I'm in the south east UK so crops like the one I had this year come with the right kind of weather and by no means every year. Feeling a bit peeved!
Our grey squirrels are nesting for the winter. They have removed some bark from my palm tree. It was loose, hanging pieces. They are also taking the plastic dog poop bags from the dispenser at the dog park. I hope they know what they are doing.

You can't depend on a cat. One of ours - William - would cower under furniture while I evicted a mouse that he had spooked.
