Marsh Harrier over my head

I saw this corpse washed up on the shore. I took a close-up of its talons to see if that helps with the identification. I found it in the Thermaikos gulf, Thessaloniki. Anyone know what It might be? I dont know many birds of prey, and this one is really decomposed. I just worry if it is a rare...

Can someone help me identify this bird— I’m not even sure if it’s a bird of prey or a falcon honestly. I live in Northern California if that means anything.....All help is appreciated! .

Red-tailed Hawk hunting

Sighted in Kent two days ago, can anyone advise me what this is please ?

I finally found a good Kestrel hunting ground near my house and spent a day last year photographing them. At one point there were 5 Kestrels hunting along the same ridge line. This was my favourite shot of the day.

Half of the nesting pair. Very vocal birds. Windy day, thus, the ruffled feathers. Edited for exposure, contrast, and white balance. Used the stock Samsung editing app. Really have no clue how to properly edit.

Lovely Red Kite

This young Cooper's Hawk was quite cooperative as it put on a display unsuccessfully chasing several squirrels in Central Park NYC. The photo was shot with a Canon 7d Mark II and a Canon 100-400 f4/L II lens.

Thanks to the Seagulls, they chased this Buzzard straight to me he was looking at me as much as I was looking at him. Who had the better lens?

At the Loch of the Lowes and 8:55 Saturday morning. The sun was behind clouds so not the best light to take shots at a distance. So I took my chances while I could. The male had arrived with some extra nesting material and I thought that was it. But decided to stay a little longer as I had...

It was a fair distance away but still managed to capture it.

Another bird we managed to get with an Elephant backdrop in Namibia - the Elephants are so obliging, and I love the pose this Secretarybird gave us !

Another wonderful chap that wasn't bothered by us, we sat so long there that we ended up leaving before he did !

The smallest falcon on the African continent, these tiny raptors are only about 20cm long and not always easy to spot !
