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.

Monday 2nd June
After 2 sun-kissed weeks in North Wales, surrounded by flittering Marsh Fritillaries and Choughs a plenty it was disappointing to return to rain-drenched Kent! In the constant drizzle an amazing 24 (twenty-four) LBB Gulls dropped into one of the car parks on the East Malling Research centre site. The rain coincided with our first strawberry pick of the season - somethings never change!
