Please PM me if this is sensitive information.
Many thanks.
Richard | I saw a buzzard yesterday, flying high over Gravesend in Kent, just half a mile from the town centre, not sure what their territory boundaries are, but I assume they would fly over the River Thames & venture into Essex. |

First sighting this year? Today I saw a group of 7 buzzards riding the thermals overhead here in Tenterden. Beautiful sight. |

I've regularly seen Buzzards whilst walking across Worth Marshes (towards Fowlmead), migrant movements will increase sightings - Sandwich Bay Bird Obs. recorded 15 Buzzards, 2 Red kites and several Peregrines flying over on the 23rd of this month.. |

Often walk out the back of Penenden Heath and watch a pair of buzzards soaring over Boxley Village, really are becoming quite common. Vidboy |

Good numbers on Sheppey. Set your scopes up at the Oare Marsh Reserve and train it on Mocketts Hill over the Swale. Not only Common Buzzards, but Rough Legged as well. And Marsh and Hen Harriers. They circle in the thermals coming up off the hill.
Cheers,
Bryan

I think buzzards are pretty common around most of England including Kent.
I am no expert & don't know anything about any records or surveys & if numbers have increased over the last 20 years.
I have noticed that I am seeing more buzzards around the Meopham/Cobham area, but I put that down to spending more time in that sort of habitat.
I know from friends that there have been several resident birds in the Shoreham / Eynsford area for many years, probably well over 20 years. | | | |
