Any thoughts on this raptor, seen 30 mins ago over my house in Knaresborough, North Yorks, clearly not Red Kite which is daily, Buzzard is also almost daily but I'm not happy about that, it's making me think Honey. Seemed longer tailed, longer winged, less broad in the wing Didnt get much else as I was spending too much time **** about with the camera to try and get a pic!!

Would be impressive if it were, all that way from Devon...!

Sorry, I can't help with the ID, though it looks like Common Buzzard to me.

Is that the only image? Something Honey-like in the shape, especially the big tail. Anything noted about flight behaviour?

just circling, I was faffing with the camera instead of watching, I wont submit it but I'm pretty sure on Honey, worth keeping an eye out over the weekend across the country
