Help! Is this blight?

HI guys, need your help identifying this issue...I am sure its blight, it only seems to be on my Kestrel variety potatoes. Some photos show how its developing....I'm not sure its early blight but surely its too soon for late blight? I can't see any lesions on the stems at the moment. Any help appreciated.
First signs, spotting on leaves
Then more developed
And this is how the leaves are ending up

i'm sorry to say it looks like a fungal infection, whether its blight or not I don't know.
Thanks treehugger, I've cut off all affected branches and binned them (not composted) and isolated from the rest of the crops, just have to hope for the best!
***UPDATE***
I got the variety wrong, its not the Kestrels, its the Sarpo Miras and one Setanta seems affected too. These are meant to be some of the most blight resistant varieties, perhaps it is not blight....any experts out there have any ideas?
