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.

Thursday 15th September 2011
Good numbers of Meadow Pipits have turned up on the Research Station site over the last 10 days, with 40+ seen around the strawberry polytunnels today. A steady stream of Swallows skimmed south, and a couple of the House Martin nests on the main lab buildings remain occupied.
