Birds of Seville, Spain (1 Viewer)

[Kryptos18]

My brother sent me a bunch of pics from Seville today, some are beyond me, but some I'd just like confirmation on.

First off: anybody want to try IDing these raptors on silhouette? Not sure if they represent the same individual or not.

Next I've got a pair of birds I believe are ubiquitous Chiffchaffs

Here's a Kestrel I believe is a Lesser Kestrel because of the wholly unmarked rufous back?

Next is a group of gulls. All Lesser Black-backed Gulls?

And some swallows. I think the bottom bird is a House Martin with the white rump, and the larger top bird is a Barn Swallow:

Finally, a Pipit. Meadow?

Thanks for any help you can give!

I agree on the Lesser Kestrel, House Martin, Swallow, and Meadow Pipit.

Can't see past Common Buzzard for the raptor.

Chiffchaff could be Iberian. Any more pics? When was it taken?

Don't do gulls.

Thanks for the quick confirms. The uploader shrunk the pics, so here's larger pics of the gulls and swallows if anyone wants (but it still won't let me upload the largest size):

And one last one: Serin?

Yes, LBB Gulls; Yes, (Barn) Swallow and House Martin and yes, Serin

1) It'd take a braver man than me to ID the initial raptor shots it seems buteo-ish, but not 100% sure you could rule out dark morph Booted on this shot.
2) Chiffchaff or Iberian Chiffchaff - if pushed I'd opt for the latter some of which may be around by now ('Common' Chiffchaff is a winter visitor & Iberian summer, but some seem to arrive in Feb.)
3) Lesser Kestrel
4) LBBG
5) Swallow
6) Meadow Pipit
7) Serin
