Hi, these were all taken in February in Andalusia, I have taken a guess at some of them but am overall not sure on their ID, so any help would be appreciated! Thank you!
Moth 1
Moth 2
This bird seemed buzzard-sized to me, however I couldn't make out any obvious patterns on the wings and it seemed to have a different overall look/feel to one. Photos 1, 2 and 4 are the original photos - 3 and 5 are the same but have been brightened slightly (as my exposure on the originals was way off) so hopefully the markings are easier to make out.
I think this bird is a Sparrowhawk, but once again all the photos are pretty badly exposed. I'm not sure if the white on the wings and rump is just the light or actual markings.
Thank you!
second one is more Goshawk looking than sparrow hawk............first one is some sort of eagle i think but more angles and postiions would be helpful. second image down makes it look like a marshharrier but i dont think so as the first one is very much EAGLE with those big primary wingtip feathers (fingers ) . Lots to choose from in spain so be guesswork for me
ow btw the white on the side of the rump are actual white feathers which show up on sparrowhawks well and are really well defined and bigger on goshawk (cos its a bigger bird) could be sparrow hawk or gos tbh. Large fem sparrowhawkk or small male gos they kinda cross over in size somewhat...........wingbeat frequency is a good tell for either species, A fast easy bouyant quite flap frequency jinking around in flight is a sparrow hawk whereas a gos is a slower heaver more labourous wingbeat much slower than a sparrowhawk cos its a much bigger bird displacing more air with those bigger wings . Goshawks look very cruciform in flight with a long straight tail and long neck whereas sprogs look small headed no neck and shorter tail...........good luck!
Moth 2 is an Early Grey - Xylocampa areola
Moth 1 might be a Spring Usher - Agriopis leucophaearia or Dotted Border -Agriopis marginaria but I am struggling to pick up enough detail - both have plain dark forms and are highly variable moths

I think the eagle is a Golden Eagle.
