Not comfortable making any type of guess other than they're raptors... I think. This was typical of my Spanish raptor experience - high contrast bad weather pics of birds way up in the sky, mocking me.

Here's a 2nd set of pics, this time of all the same bird, and was taken at the same location near Despenaperros but a week later (on our return trip back to Madrid)

Thanks. I anticipated seeing Griffons but the Black is a nice bonus. Not that I was able to bask in the glory of great views...
