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.

Thursday 10th July
A call at lunchtime from Ross had me rushing down to Bradbourne House, East Malling. While on one of his entomological wanders he'd managed to locate a pair of Tawny Owls roosting in the uppermost branches of one of the trees down there. I managed a couple of records shots before leaving it enjoy the rest of it's afternoon snooze.

Brilliant picture. It is amazing how difficult Tawny's are to see isn't it. I reckon I have actually seen Tawny Owl no more than 10 times in 30 years birding!
Great photo Adam. I've never seen a roosting Tawny.
All credit to Ross who found it. Ad
