It's a BLACK KITE (Milvus migrans). I bet you took the pics this summer because the great majority of the population is in Africa at the moment.
It is a black kite because:
- rather uniform dark brown color
- squared tail (it form a shallow v during gliding)
- uniform underwing color and lighter head is a shared with marsh harrier but the absence of darker patch around the eye, the dark shoulder and 6 digitated primaries assure us is a black kite.
Here is a picture for reference:
