Beautiful photos but just as a heads up, unless you took the photos yourself, you could be breaching copyright by using them without the photographer’s permission. Perhaps post a link to the site instead? Apologies if they are your photos - amazing shots if so.
If it were either of the two, then Common Buzzard would be more likely than RK - Buzzards routinely perch on low lying structures like fences or posts to hunt for voles in the grass etc. Red Kites are carrion eaters and tend either be seen on the ground or perched in trees (or soaring overhead!).
It could have been a WTE - they often perch on fence posts but as @Weststander says, no recent sightings ( last reported one in Sussex was on 17 April according to Birdguides)
