Perhaps Short-tailed Field Vole. Prey items are sometimes carried in the forward position (like Osprey and fish) I know it looks odd but it's quite normal to carry like this in order to reduce drag or just easier with a bent leg.

As Voles go this one seems to be on the big side. Very dark pelage, greyish cast. In the flight shots it seems to have a rufous cast in the fur along its upper back.
All this makes me think it may be a Grey Red-backed Vole/Grey-Sided Vole (Myodes rufocanus).
