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 13th January 2012
A day of mixed weather with some sunshine (whey hey!) and snow. I checked out the churchyard at St Margarets on three occasions today and saw a single Hawfinch on each trip. The bulky silhouette of a Hawfinch could be seen atop of the large ash tree as I walked down Church Lane on my first visit around 8am (see photo), and it showed on and off during my subsequent visits in the afternoon (13:30, 14:30) last being seen just before 3pm.
