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 12th July
A trip down to the coast to visit my wife's aged grandmother didn't present too many wildlife opportunities, but a lunch with her at Lathe Farm, Donkey Street, Romney Marsh showed up a Red Admiral and even better a fresh Small Tortoiseshell. Later, a walk down the zig-zag path to Lower Leas, Folkestone was greeted by a summer-plummaged Med Gull flying along the beach, you don't really need to look for them in the neck of the woods!
