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.

Saturday 7th May 2011
In between running the kids to football, tennis, swimming a birthday party I managed to spot Swifts above Buckland Hill and Mote Park Leisure Centre - my first of the year. Football took me to Iwade and a slight detour turned up Bird's Nest Orchid in full bloom, Lady Orchids and loads of Green Hairstreak and a couple of Adonis Blues at some sites on the North Downs.
