[Kinthissa]

please would you help identify this raptor with a grey head, seen this afternoon arriving from the west, is it a Black kite with a tail not showing the fork, or is it a Marsh harrier?

 

[lou salomon]

Black Kite.

 

[birdmeister]

Agreed.

Black kite

 

[Kinthissa]

Thank you! are the wings of the op bird showing damage or moulting?

and is this bird that's been hunting along the slopes also a Black kite?

Pic in your last post looks like a Marsh Harrier

Yes, a Marsh harrier indeed.
