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.

Saturday 15th January 2011
I didn't manage to get out on patch today, but browsing on the Web picked up some excellent photos that David Armitage took of Waxwings in Ditton Court Quarry on 2nd January (the same day I picked up the Waxwings on the research station). His pictures can be seen here. David has since contacted me to say he had 17x Waxwings that day feeding on berries in the SW corner of the Quarry, and also drinking from nearby puddles - a good record for the Quarry, thanks David.
