Jacqui,
My Collins Guide: Irish Birds shows the juvenile in flight with small white patches, probably just on one side of the feather shafts, near the base of the outer two or three tail feathers.
Meanwhile my Birdwatcher's Key shows the immature with similar markings, but near the end of the tail.
I'd guess you've got the ID correct.
 
Regards,
Paul.
