Two Curlew calling and displaying, one other distant call.
Fleeting sight of a large narrow winged raptor with wing tags, it took off from a distant post and disappeared over a rise, then reappeared momentarily before disappearing again, flying over Beetle hill/Alden towards Grane.
This was not a Harrier/Buzzard, could have been Osprey, but I did not see any black/white demarcation?.
A few wing-tagged Red Kites about in N England so most likely one of these if not a Buzzard. Its 2-3 weeks to early for Osprey even in south France where none are arriving yet.
