Three raptors in Northern Spain

[photog46]

I am pretty sure that  the first one is a Booted Eagle and the second is a Common Buzzard.  Having a hard time with the third--the tail bands make me think it might be a Eurasian Sparrowhawk, but perhaps it's one of the other two--a juvenile or a different morph or something else altogether?  Confirmation of the Eagle and Buzzard and ideas about the one I can't identify would be much appreciated.  Seen late summer in northern Spain.  Didn't have my longer lens on the trip, so the pictures are not great.  Happy New Year, fellow birders!

1st Looks like a Booted Eagle and 2nd is definitely a Common Buzzard. The third bird is a bit more difficult, but due to the tail bands and the underwing pattern, I'm pretty sure it's a Short-tailed Snake-Eagle.

I agree.

Thanks for the information.  I looked at better pictures of the Short-tailed Snake Eagle (called Short-toed in the very limited book of birds of Spain that I have), and that certainly seems a reasonable ID.   The tail bands really had me leaning against Buzzard or Booted Eagle, so it's good to have the ID.

I think Connor made a typo there, no? I’m almost certain it’s short-toed Snake-Eagle.
