Yep, there's a stretch of the M40 that I've seen loads of Red Kites circling everytime I've been up that way. Marvellous scenes!
I've only seen a couple in Sussex. Numbers are increasing here too though by all accounts.
Travelling north from Hampshire to Oxford and beyond we regularly see Red Kites over the A34 and M40 type areas - very attractive if you manage to see one up close.
They have recently reintroduced Sea Eagles (aka White Tailed Eagle) on the Isle of Wight, and they have been seen over Hampshire - not by us. Have seen them in Scotland though - stunning. Our biggest bird of prey - marginally bigger than a Golden Eagle.
