ID help please

Both shots taken on high Teesdale moors, February this year. I came across the pics and they looked like the red kites Ive been watching in the Chilterns. Didnt know there were kites in Teesdale. Could someone just let me know what it is? Be very grateful. At the tme I assumed a buzzard, but now I realise its nothing like!! Poor pics I know.
