Can anyone offer an identification on this?
Sorry the pics are not good.
Seen at Evretou Sunday, 6pm.
Saw it for about 10 seconds only, and my feeling was Long Legged Buzzard, but the tail looks too long and dark. For comparison, the small birds around it were Swallows.

Thanks

Hi Ray

Looks to me for all the world to be a female type marsh harrier.

Regards
Scott

Thanks Scott
I can see that now.
I tend to forget just how big Marsh Harriers are.
