Very nice Iain,  is it a Red Kite?  Not sure cause I can't see the tail from underneath.

Do Buzzards and other large birds of prey fly at night?  Last night in full darkness after the Moon had set, something large flew past at very high speed, I just saw it in the corner of my eye, a black shadow then it was gone.  A few weeks ago two Swans flew past in the dark quite close to the ground, much more slowly of course but still quite eery when not expecting them.

It is a Red Kite Robert and in answer to your other question there are Owl's like a tawny or a long eared owl that fly at night and have a large wing span.

May have been one of them you saw.

Thanks Iain, need a radar camera which pops of when birds approach in the dark!

It's a tiny pass in the Lake District about 900ft above sea level, probably the only way for the birds without climbing a lot higher.
