Falcon? Maritime Alps SE France
From today, v blurry I'm afraid … flew fast with fairly quick beats and "elbows" bent. I thought the colouring wasn't red enough for your average Kestrel… Maybe Common Buzzard ?

Wow, that's exciting, as it would be my first, and not too far away from home either. I shall now wait for others to chip in…
