Montagu's Harrier? Also frequents heathland with low bushes (according to same source).
Interesting grid reference, that is 'geography' (to me anyway)

Field trip...
If we forget the supposed size, does anyone seriously believe this looks like a sparrowhawk?
Hen Harrier sized.
Sorry, but still cant see past an escaped Owl sp.
Agree on size
...and maybe on species...
Grey wings with black visible on primaries. Very white below. Yellow eye (if it is an eye!).
Spots could be present on a subadult presumably? Anyone see a lot of younger male hen harriers?...
Behaviour looks odd for this species but maybe it is hiding from a gamekeeper? :eek!:
is it possible that its actually some distance behind the berries?? are the berries giving the wrong impression of size, as in are they close to the camera, peering through them at something some way behind??

Beginning to wish I'd never asked... still no football on tele!
