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.

Saturday 5th February 2013
I was lucky to connect with 3 Hawfinches this morning in St Margaret's Churchyard. I spotted them from the playing fields where my youngest lad was football training and watched them for 5 minutes or so around 10:20 between they took flight with a mixed flock of Greenfinches and Linnets. Up to eight Yellowhammers were also seen in the trees on the northern perimeter of the churchyard. I visited the churchyard a couple more times later in the day but didn't see the Hawfinches again.
