Julie Eustace sent me this photograph of a raptor over her Skewen house yesterday, which she said was much bigger than a nearby buzzard. The pointed carpels, narrow wing bases and long neck and tail all look good for Honey-buzzard to me. Any other thoughts?

I wouldn't like to call the identity of this bird from this photo but there does seem to be a paler breast band on an otherwise darker body which may be a trick of the light?
I have to admit the more I look at it the more uncertain I become and I suggest that unless anyone can provide compelling proof one way or the other, then it's probably best left unidentified.
Honey Buzzard
