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.

A Peregrine was reported flying east over the East Malling Research station site mid-morning. Four House Martins buzzed around, particulary low numbers this year, and the near abscence of Swifts over the research station is also rather depressing.
Hi Adam, I was at Lullingstone C.P today and had a few swifts and house martins flying low over the meadows there but like you say numbers seem to be down.
