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.

Friday 30th September 2011
Another misty morning in the valley, clearing to a hot, hot day with East Malling recording the most hours of sunshine in the country (11.1 hours).
Not much birdwise: 5x Meadow Pipits on the Sweets Lane Paddocks, and another couple on Paris Farm. Good numbers of Rooks and Jackdaws close to Gallagher's Gallop, both species once quite a rarity on patch. The spiders made the greatest impact - they seem to be spinning webs just about everywhere.
