Buzzard

Thanks Daniele and Venus.
Aside from the bountiful Red Kites these are the only large raptors normally seen in this area with just the occasional Hen Harrier in winter.
@Riveroak43 almost all your 'hawks' are Buteo genus, same as this one which you don't get over there. It's always worth checking the location of spottings before making comments or IDs as different countries use different naming systems and common names often have different meanings in different countries. Another example is your Robins - in most other countries they are Thrushes and in the Turdus genus, Robins in Europe and Asia are generally much smaller and grouped with the Starts and Chats.

Riveroak43, the plumage of this bird is very clearly that of the common Common buzzard, Buteo buteo. You may be getting confused by the meaning of "buzzard" in the New World. For more information see:
