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 29th November 2012
A sunnier day - only brief visits to the outside world at work though today, with Reed Bunting still present in the 'Pea Field'/scrub north of the Water Tower, off North Pole Road, Barming, and increasing numbers of Fieldfare (but no Redwing) in the Orchards on the East Malling Research Station.

Not getting out much at the mo - but Wednesday saw a flock 22x Yellowhammers feeding out of the hedgerow next to Gallagher's Gallop, and today 5x Reed Bunting were feeding in the Pea Field, Barming. Fieldfare numbers have increased on the research station over the last 3 days, with a few Redwings amongst them.
