A drive along the entrance track turned up Lapwings and Redshanks with young, loads of Little Egret, Skylark, Swifts, House Martins and a Yellow Wagtail, the latter well camouflaged against a back drop of buttercups!
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.

Adam ,
Just a thought on the Med Gulls , I wonder if they have olives rather than onions on theirs ?
Adam.
Sorry that I didn't comment earlier. I went to Minster beach last week before going to Elmley as I always have done. As soon as we parked up the beach was quite empty of birds, but a handful of Gulls soon flew in, but there was only 3 Med Gulls with the B/H/Gulls. Always good to see them in breeding plumage, very dapper.
