Long shot photos, Israel (1 Viewer)

From June 2013. First two are from the ruins at Beit She-an, the last is from Nazareth. All are horrific photos and I dont expect definitive IDs!

1. I think I had this down as another hooded crow at the time, but I'm now thinking that silhouette is more raptory?
2. House sparrow maybe?
3. Pretty sure this is Little Owl, but not sure if any other Athene-type owls are present here.

The last one is pretty clearly a Little Owl. The first two ones are quite possibly birds!

I do wonder what people expect when posting such shots.

The first photo looks like a falcon to me.

First bird is a Raptor possible falcon but long tailed species or harrier ie; Montague's slimness or suggestion of Booted Eagle rear view .
second bird could be some finch species , last bird is def Little Owl try enhancing Raptor shot in Photo shop type programme could help get better image

could be a Raven or even a Gannet, unidentifiable deceptive rear view
