3 (?)BOPs for ID please

Sorry my photos are really rubbish, they were very high up so are more ID requests from silhouettes really

. These were taken today above Yorkshire Wildlife Park, Doncaster. I think the larger of the three is a Buzzard, but not sure what the two smaller ones are - the smaller ones were constantly harassing the Buzzard while at the same time were giving great displays of 'wing-folding and then dive-bombing' out of sight behind the trees, before resuming the harassment. One pic shows how the Buzzard and one of the smaller birds looked to be touching wings.

Crows/ravens mobbing the buzzard maybe?

How embarrassing!

I typed ?BOPs in the title because I wasn't sure if the two smaller birds were BoPs, but I thought I'd be able to ID corvids, even from a distance! Just shows how certain images can distort one's mind!

I'm very impressed you were both able to give an ID from my rubbish silhouettes, thank you
