Hi
This is my first post here, but I have been following some of the great photos people are posting.
Anyway, I saw some birds of prey on the weekend, and wondered if you could please help me ID them? (1) & (3) maybe Brown Goshawks? The rest I have no idea...

Sorry the birds are a little bit small, I couldn't get too close. If you look on my flickr you can see the files a bit bigger. Thanks for your help!
Tim.
I think 3 is a brown goshawk and possibly 1 as well. I would guess your no.4 bird is a whistling kite 1st year(?). Number 2 rings a bell in my mind, I would guess maybe another Whistling kite, but by bird of prey ID's aren't that great. Just for future reference you should put this in the ID section, but they are great photos none the less so I guess they can qualify here :)
And I think perhaps your last bird might be a dark morph Little Eagle.
Hi Amateur, thanks for the comments. I have been enjoying following the photos sub-forum so much that I totally forgot there was also an ID forum... Will remember for next time!
Cheers, Tim
2 and 4 look like Whistling Kites.
5 could be either a Little Eagle or possibly Swamp Harrier.
Cheers, Owen.
