 Honey Buzzard- E.Haverfordwest

At about 2.30, while working on a small job in the garden, at 28 deg.C, I saw a Buzzard circling in the east. This is not unusual since I am only 200 yds. from open country. Once again I dashed indoors to get my camera. The buzzard was now circling quite high and went out of sight vertically.                     Checking the images, I noticed the longish tail not fanned, the long/protruding neck/head, the pinched in wing effect and the broad black band to the rear of the underwing and at the end of the tail, thus arriving at an I.D. of Honey Buzzard. If anyone with expertise has an opinion, I would be glad to hear.
