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 6th October
A busy day at work again, but the earlier rain had cleared to give a beautiful evening. As I left work Swallows were dipping and streaming across the grassed area at the back of main lab buildings. More were seen as I past Gallagher's Gallop with a few House and Sand Martins mixed amongst them. A large flock of Goldfinches came into roost in one of the mature Sweet Chesnuts next to the underpass. Heavy cloud hung high in the sky as I reached home in Barming, making for a spectacular sunset.
