Can anyone identify this bird?

[Johnny Rocco]

Snapped it at Farley Mount, near Winchester this week.

I first thought it was a kestrel, but looking at the pic I'm now wondering whether it's a buzzard/goshawk sort of thing.

Any help?

Looks like a buzzard to me (I see about 50 buzzards a day, but still could be wrong - I'm no twitcher!)

I'd say definitely not a Kestrel or a Peregrine - too chunky for either of those. Also not a kite, as the tail shape is wrong. Highly unlikely to be a Goshawk unless a falconer has lost one, so I'd go with Buzzard as well.

+1......a Buzzard.

White outer/trailing parts to the wings.

Yep my vote is Buteo buteo.

I love those repeating Latin names!
I need to get out more....

That's chromatic aberration...

I'd say it's a Bufo bufo.

I am amused by the fact that because it's a photograph of a bird, we all seem to assume it's perfectly natural for this thread to be in photography and video.
