With increasingly cold weather coming in I made another quick visit to Bradbourne Lake, East Malling. Yesterday I managed to dip on what would have been two new patch ticks for me: Egyptian Goose and Curlew (heard). C'est la vie! The Teal count was up to 5 birds now (inc. 2 Drakes), with a pair of Gadwall and a female Shoveler added another species to increasing list of wildfowl on patch. The Lapwings were still on show, and with a bit of winter sun I couldn't resist some more photos.
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.
