A report of wildlife sightings from the western edge of Maidstone, Kent. I note anything of interest in the vicinity of my home in Barming and from walks into work at the East Malling Research Station along the edge of Barming Woods and down to Ditton. Occasionally, when time allows, I get out to Ditton Quarry, a rich habitat hemmed in by residential and industrial developments on one side, but with open countryside on the other.

Saturday 2nd May
After seeing five Hobbies hawking at Dungeness yesterday (as well a Pomarine Skua, Red-rumped Swallow and Crested Lark) I was pleased to see one hawking , then drifting north over my garden in East Barming at 19:30 this evening. It eventually came back on itself before flying strongly east along the Medway valley. A new garden tick.
