I believe it's legal to bait for buzzards as long as your away from the nest, in which case you would need a license.
As far as baiting goes maybe try to collect a few road-kill rabbits - they look more natural in you images if they have fur on, and are also cheaper! In my experience, and the experience of a couple of friends who are professional wildlife photographers, dawn is the best time as you can get into the hides before light so the birds don't see you. Also give them time to discover the bait before you start photograpy. So start to put the bait out a few days before you start and try to time it with the possibility of good weather/light.
And finally, be prepared for a long wait!
Hope this helps, and good luck,
