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.

Wednesday 2nd September
A stint looking after the kids this morning was brightened up during a brief respite in the rain by the appearance of a Hummingbird Hawkmoth in my garden in Barming - my first for the year.

Adam ,

Hi Adam.
What a terrific Moth to get on your home list. They are rarely seen in the countryside let alone in your garden.
