Default Saker or Gyr Falcon ?

Another shot from the bird of prey photosession the other day. Not sure if this is a Saker falcon or a Gyr falcon or one of each lol. I am sure someone can tell me. I got lots of shots of these birds as they seem to be the most co-operative lol. Hope you enjoy xx

Well, I don't know what these are, but the shots are really wonderful. And I have decided that I don't want to know what is in his mouth..........terrific shots.
