I have put up pictures of four birds of prey at http://www.azenhadoramalho.com/bird-identification.htm which I would like help identifying.
These pictures were taken at the estate of Coudelaria de Alter which is at Alter do Chão on the plain in North Alentejo. I believe the birds are typical for Portugal but since they are captive that is not necessarily so.
Any help greatly appreciated.

CLOSED: Four birds of prey in Portugal
Bird A is a falconer's hybrid, possibly Peregrine × Lanner
Bird B may be a Saker Falcon, but - as with the above - a hybrid is quite likely (most captive falcons are hybrids these days, a deliberate policy by many falconers to be safe from accusations of stealing wild birds - a hybrid can't be wild, so is always legal to keep)
Bird C is a Harris's Hawk
Bird D is another hybrid falcon

Hi Resin,
Many thanks for your help. I really should have made a note of the birds when i took the photos! Anyway if anybody wants a good look at the pictures and copy them you can see them at http://www.free-pictures-now.com/animal-pictures/birds-of-prey-pictures
