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.

Hi Adam.
Quite a bird to see regularly from home. It obviously is a falconers escaped bird, have you heard about anyone losing it?
Some years ago there was one on Harty Marshes flying about for quite a while, that one had jessies. I believe the owner eventually go this one back.
Speaking to the old chap who visits Mote Park daily with his binoculars,and he also mentioned (unbidden) a Pereguine Falcon.
If you recall, I calimed to have seen one last year,but my qualifications are minimal.
