Thursday 3rd September

Ninety-two Rooks sitting in a parliament on the cattle field of Kiln Barn Farm, Ditton this morning, along with the Little Owl in the barn. Only a single House Martin today, flying into the Italian Alder windbreak along the entrance track to the main Research station buildings in East Malling, and an unfortunate (dead) Badger on the verge by the railway bridge, Kiln Barn Road.

Wednesday 2nd September

A stint looking after the kids this morning was brightened up during a brief respite in the rain by the appearance of a Hummingbird Hawkmoth in my garden in Barming - my first for the year.
