Harrier?

A nice head&shoulders portrait of a raptor. Guessing possibly a harrier... maybe Pallid male (Circus macrourus)

More likely a Black-shouldered Kite. We've been getting quite a few of them in this season's captures.

I agree. Montagu's and Pallid harrier males are similarly grey but their eyes would look very pale, and I suspect they don't perch much on ground except in very open places - i.e. not under trees, where cameras are usually mounted.
