I’m sorry for the terrible quality (not my video). It’s in a housing estate in Ireland. (Dublin, Meath or Louth)

Definitely a bird of prey. Maybe a harrier or a buzzard? With the light underside…
Thanks… trying to figure out if it’s a Harrier or Buzzard… 😄 Thought Buzzard was much bigger… But we put it to a few friends and that’s where we got stuck.
Hard to judge it’s size from the video, if you say it’s on the larger side, then probably a harrier
Thanks. Would a Harrier be bigger than a buzzard?
I think the one in the video is a larger bird.
Not necessarily, but if I remember correctly, the average for different harriers is higher than between the different buzzards
That’s a red kite I believe.
Yeah the tail feathers fanned out like that makes me think it’s a kite.
Tail doesn’t seem forked enough for a kite, wing ends seem too pointy for a buzzard, and bitter experience has taught me that other raptors are sparrowhawks unless I’ve been very lucky indeed - here the shape seems right, just a question of overall size. The narrow shape and length of the wings otherwise hints at some kind of falcon?
