I very well remember in the early eighties my father and I making the long journey to Wales from our home in Norfolk. It was a bird watching holiday with the goal of seeing Red kites which at that time numbered about 32 pairs. During the whole week we saw one red kite.
Jump forward to 2017 and As I drive through Norfolk I regularly see Red Kites and Common Buzzards and of course we have Peregrines, breeding on Norwich cathedral, often seen over Norwich.

High Wycombe is an absolute hotspot for RKs. More common than sparrows it would seem
Good luck then scroggin!
Whenever Pen Y Fan is clear, it's a diary-worthy event!

Gigrin Farm in Mid Wales has a feeding centre. It's a magical place with hundreds of RKs flying about at the same time
In South Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire kites are very common.
We see them daily and have seen a dozen or more at the same time.
They spread from Stoke church originally I believe where they were successfully introduced.
