 Honey Buzzard 26th?

 Thanks for Daves comments.Yesterdays image was very small and I am trying to post a larger image, though still of poor quality. Actually the buzzard has his legs hanging down which may have been a defensive measure, caused when it was buzzed by a high flying corvid and so obscuring the base of the tail, which probably would not have resolved well anyway.

Note also the wing is broadest at the wrist. I have seen a number of HBs and oodles of Common Buzzards. Usually the longer tail and protruding head is enough.
