Soars in tight circles rising to a very high altitude. A buzzard in the same thermal gave indication of being smaller.
I think it's a Peregrine.
Heavily cropped photos attached.
Thanks.

Thanks, I had thought it looked gull-like. It's just that the gulls around heer are usually in small groups and often noisy and tend to soar in much wider circles. Being that it was in the same thermal as a buzzard probably means that it was climbing quickly to mob it.
