red kites is 4,370 pairs (<a href="https://www.bto.org/our-science/publications/peer-reviewed-papers/apep-4-population-estimates-birds-great-britain-and"

</p><p>There is no similar data for English populations. However, buzzards are common
throughout England and Natural England estimates that there are up to 30,000 breeding
pairs. Natural England also estimate that there are 2,000 pairs of red kites which
are most commonly found in central and southern England.</p><p> </p><p>The most recent
information on the geographical distribution of birds in Britain is provided by the
BTO’s 2007-2011 Atlas of breeding and wintering birds <a href="https://app.bto.org/mapstore/StoreServlet"
