I get the impression of a Marsh Harrier ; but difficult to say due to picture quality

I'd say either Marsh Harrier or Osprey

I'd vote for Marsh Harrier. It looks too short winged for an Osprey. Key id would be whether it was trying to catch fish out of the water. If it was, an Osprey would be pretty much it. Or a Marsh Harrier with a serious drink problem.
