| | | Raptor ident quiz just for fun
Visited a falconry display the other day a Merrist Wood and found these (admittedly foreign) three birds that aren't normally in such displays.
What do you think they are?

Hi Adam
No.1 is a Bateleur
No.2 I don't know but looks to be a possibly one of the Goshawk species.
No.3. Possibly a Lanner?

Mick just beat me with Saker.
I also have to agree with the same bird for No.2 as Mick' suggestion.
