The raptor looks like a Wedge-tailed Eagle and the tern like a Whiskered.

I like the pretty colors
Agree with I d's
Shape of tail in the first photo suggest Wedge tailed eagle as does the underwing coloring although a bit hard to distinguish.
The dark forehead, crown and breast are typical of a whiskered tern.
