First one is Eleonora's Falcon, 3-5 are all Marsh Harrier. Not sure about the kestrel in the second pic.
agree on Eleonora's and Marsh Harrier, 3 looks Short-toed Eagle to me (with strange black spot)
Kestrel is difficult as moulting primaries, wing formula not useful, moustache well visible but hardly any supercilium behind eye, rather strong primary markings make me think Common
Nutcracker
Stop Brexit!
#2 Common Kestrel for me - I can just see the black claws on the toes :t:

Now I get where Tom was coming from! o
I really strugled to see the STE/underparts ilusion but it's a funny one (I managed to "see" it after looking for it). The photo shows the upperparts though, and a Marsh Harrier for me as well as Pyrtle says above.

Holy shit, I saw a raptor facing us, rather pale and hanging in the wind and I swear I am sobre
Of course a Marsh Harrier flying away!
