| | | Re: Please identify these Birds of Prey I would go with
1. Saker or hybrid of some sort
2. Peregrine or hybrid
3. Merlin
Not seriously expecting any of those to be correct |

| | | Re: Please identify these Birds of Prey 1 and 2 are a Lanner Falcon (if not some sort of hybrid, which is common in falconry)
3 is a Merlin

Colin | Guess we have to agree to differ again! The second looks like a different bird (agree both look like Peres though - first impression on the first bird was rather Sakerish but light playing tricks and obviously since the IDs were already given by the original poster, they are obviously not Sparrowhawks or Merlins!
