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.

3rd December 2009
Only managed to birdwatch doing the monthly East Malling Research Running Club handicap race at lunchtime. Covering 4.9 miles of research land, housing estate and countryside I was pleased to notch up Little Egret (Bradbourne) and Sparrowhawk amongst all the commoner species. The new route took me past Four Acres and Easterfields at the back of East Malling that look to have potential!

what we all want to know is How Long did it take you?
Didn't you take your camera then?

An awful 40 minutes - one of my slowest times. I was last year's champ getting down to 7 minute miles, and my prize for all of that effort....organise the races for 2010! I've let things slip a little, and blame avian interest en route for the lack of speed!!!

I think I was carrying enough (weight!) without having a camera!
