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.

Sunday 20th July
A late trip to Tonbridge, to see if the Grasshopper Warbler was around. It was, along with a second bird, but the reeling was somewhat drowned out by a haymaking in adjacent fields. A couple of Reed Buntings, Grey Wagtails and Grey Herons were all added to the list, as were 5x Turtle Doves sitting on the roof of the grain store, Cuckoo Lane, just outside Hadlow on the way to Tonbridge.

Glad you saw the T.Doves on the grain store Adam. I used to count up to forty here, seven years ago!
