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.

Tuesday 4th November
My first Redwing of the winter in the garden in East Barming this morning, along with a Coal Tit, a rare site in my garden, visiting the feeders. A quick scan across one of the orchards at East Malling Research at lunchtime showed up good numbers of Fieldfares (+50) and large flocks of finches, predominatly Chaffinches with a few Goldfinches thrown in for good measure, definitely an increase in numbers since last week.
