We see the odd one every now and then, but for the last week, up to
four of them have been soaring together. A family group maybe ?

More likely a resident pair and two interlopers (either a pair from an abutting territory or two single birds - maybe young of previous years). Buzzards will display-soar together over neutral ground with much calling, but only really get very territorial close to the nest, when slow-motion chases take place.
