I can't see a good reason why this isn't a Common Buzzard, the fact that it is just starting to moult it's primaries at this date strongly suggests a Common Buzzard born the previous year.

I've a feeling I've seen some of these pics before.....

My thought Common Buzzard too, even before I scrolled down to Spud's post

Some Common Buzzards get very pale - I even saw one (in Denmark too!) that was nearly pure white all over
