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 20th October
My first Redwing of the year dropped into the garden in Barming briefly this morning. There was a lot of bird activity, no doubt brought on by the cold weather. A flock of Long-Tailed tits worked through the trees bordering the Parish playing fields, with a Goldcrest tagging on behind (I desperately scanned for a YB or Pallas Warbler!). A couple of Lapwings flapped west.
