This is all's i can think of from the colour or maybe and escaped falconer's bird..but they dont have forked tail's..i think the only bird's in this country to have forked tail's are the kite family but they would be of the wrong colour..

I would hazzard a guess at a male hen harrier(bottom) the more likely,but if its an escape maybe a Black Shouldered kite(top)
