Hi evrybody,

is it possible to ID this raptors? Maybe 1+2 shows Falco sp. and 4-6 Buteo sp.?

Seen in Egypt, Sinai, Sharm el Sheikh, 14. April 2015

Thanks a lot!

I thought the Falcons looked too pale for Common Kestrel and agree with SB

Thanks @All! Could the last one also be a Long-legged Buzzard?

No, that's a Steppe too.

OK Thanks a lot @jogresh !

No, that's a Steppe too.

I must watch most of my Lesser Kestrels in highly reflective ground-based lighting conditions.....

because it has a well demarcated dark tail band. agree on Steppe Buzzard for all the other ind. too. Compact structure and pale greater underwing coverts.
