hi mi-d,

please load up the original pics as soon as possible instead of the screen shots from your camera, and also mention the date of the pics.
the accipiter looks like a goshawk to me due to long arm and apparently subdued (not visible here?) barring to remiges.
the second bird is an eagle and very very likely a lesser spotted eagle, but with this pic quality i'd not rely just on short 7 th finger and shortish tail.

The large one is indeed very likely a lesser spotted eagle. For the sparrowhawk id I need the original picture.
