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.

Wednesday 30th July
A fine start to the morning with more Swallows near Kiln Barn farm, Ditton and a female Sparrowhawk after starlings that were congregating near Gallagher's Gallop. The sun and warmth had returned by lunchtime so I ventured out after the Silver-washed Fritillary again. No luck today, but good numbers of Peacock and a couple of Red Admirals to boot.
