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.

Tuesday 20th October
All the usual suspects at Ditton Quarry at lunchtime, plus a single Redwing skulking in some hawthorn and a fly-over Little Egret. A pellet was found along one of the tracks, broken up, grey colour and quite furry, but not much bone, presumably a Tawny Owl's (which would be new for the Quarry list, but possibly a Sparrowhawk's?
