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.

Sunday 26th February 2012
A short visit this morning to nearby Wateringbury to check out a report of a possible Red-necked Grebe. This bird couldn't be found, but 2x Little Grebe, 2x Green Sandpiper, 4x Greylag Geese and a Kingfisher were all seen on a newly scrapped out fishing pool between the Millpond and Old Road. The three former species all new for the Wateringbury Tetrad so a useful visit!
