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 22nd March
Mothers Day so I couldn't get out birding -I'd hoped to get out to the KOS walk at Boughton and was gutted to hear that LS Woodpecker, Barn Owl and Buzzard had all been seen.............grrrrrrrrrrr! Managed a brief walk over the orchards in Barming late in the afternoon and was rewarded with another (or the same) Small Tortoiseshell basking on the ragstone ridge I'd seen one last week.

At least you got out. I had an old friend over so was a bit stuck!
Hi Adam.
Sorry that you missed out on some good bird's, still there's always next time.
Hi Adam,
Yea, it was a great view of the Lesser spot, and it was good to hear it drumming, so giving a good comparison with the Great spots.;-)
Rub it in Warren! Told you you'd get back me back for those Waxwiings (heard there were 23 in Wateringbury again today)! Adam
