The Observatory can accommodate up to 9 people in two dormitories, you need to bring your own sleeping bags and it is self-catering. As well as Birdwatchers, we welcome people from many areas of interest including Moths, Butterflies, Bugs and Beetles or just a general interest in Nature and the local environment. Please forward any Dungeness recording area records to the Warden.

15th January

Most of the interest was with the gulls again. The first-winter Glaucous Gull was still present and showing very well along with the the first-winter Caspian Gull. An adult Little Gull and two Mediterranean Gulls were feeding offshore. A Long-tailed Duck offshore was also of note.

The Patch was quite busy this morning!
