Can anyone ident. this bird?

We get these flying over our house regular, often in groups of 2 or three. They sometimes get mobbed by crows. They also emit a high pitched sqwark/call, much like an eagle etc.

BTW, this is over Coventry City Centre, so what they are doing over the city I don't know. There is a largish park in the direction I often see them. They are quite large, around twice to three times the size of an adult crow.

Just curious really, so if anyone knows that would be great!

Ah, seems you are right!

They are truely fantastic to watch from our back garden, often performing displays. Makes a change from pigeons, crows and magpies!

EDIT: I often hear them from inside the house before I see them.
