Here we go again

On my return to the car park field John joined me and we picked up the Peregrine again, but my record shots with my bridge camera didn't amount to much.

And after nearly 2 hours of watching the sky over the landfill, it was evident that a bit of passage was underway, with 7 House Martin, 1 Swallow, a few Meadow Pipit, one flock of finch sp, probably Linnet, 3-4 Song Thrush and the odd Redwing,

Trevor arrived and the others left, at that point I picked up a raptor coming in from the North, a Buzzard sized bird, gliding on slightly bowed wings. In the dull'ish light it appeared all dark and we kept thinking Buzzard, until it came side over the lake about 600 metres away and at about 600 feet up. Side on we could see it  had one primary in it's right wing missing and had a little more tail than a Buzzard, probably too much for Buzzard.

Like the raptor on the 24th it gave more or less nothing away in sustained views of about 45 seconds and a further 10+ seconds when we quickly moved to the car park field itself, by which time it was fully side on and soaring for a few seconds.

Again we kept saying this is one strange raptor and if that is a Buzzard, then why can't we see features that confirm it to be one?

It began to power out of it's last circle and went way fast SE, the whole time not looking very Buzzard like, with a narrow and longer tail than Buzzard.
