Very pale Common Buzzard and surely a Goshawk with those legs.

Agree on the buzzard.
The middle toe of the left leg on the other hawk seems quite long though, is that still within the range of variation for Goshawk?

A slim-looking bird with knitting needle-like legs so I'd say it's a Sparrowhawk.

Yup they look much thinner on a big screen - I agree with Sparrowhawk.
