In another success story for urban wildlife, green roof professionals in Sheffield, England have replicated habitat favored by the Black Redstart to the degree that the birds now appear to inhabit the roofs.
Also, there's an audio slideshow of a "greenroof safari" here. The narration explains some of the benefits of green roofs and depicts a variety of those found in Sheffield (actually, the show provides a good sense of the different intents and designs associated with greenroofs, from recreation areas to those made to mimic habitat). Our intrepid narrator gets inexplicably and disconcertingly winded at the end... perhaps an issue with heights?
