Any ideas what this could be?
**Update**
Thanks to everyone's suggestions from the blog world, Twitter and Flickr, the consensus seems to be Common Buzzard and I think this shot from
Northhamptonshire Wildlife nails it.

Mystery Raptor At The Patch
Took Debbie to visit my new local patch yesterday because of the abundance of butterflies and saw this raptor being mobbed in the distance.
Any ideas what this could be?

the underside looks like a buzzard,cant tell from the top view though
Looks like the colouring of a buzzard but it doesn't have rounded wings like a buzzard would. Looks quite like a Marsh Harrier??
Thanks for the idea's you two, had another suggestion on Flickr, Red Kite? I think it might take some working out this one!
I have to say the black patches under the wing, and slender head point towards Honey Buzzard
Nice shot Paul; I'll go with a Buzzard.
Nice mobbing capture in flight. The Buzzard has a beautiful pattern.
