Update

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.
You can still support the Obs by using Give as you Live when shopping online.

6th January

The first calm morning since the 1st January allowed for a good search of the land which resulted in four Firecrests in the trapping area, two Chiffchaffs and three Cetti's Warblers at the Long Pits and a Fieldfare, five Siskins and five Linnets overhead.
An early-morning seawatch produced three Velvet Scoters, 150 Red-throated Divers seven Mediterranean and seven Little Gulls of interest.

Elsewhere, two Penduline Tits were seen from the viewing ramp at Hookers on the RSPB Reserve but were very elusive in the afternoon at least. 

Apparently there is a small glitch when opening up the blog site. It may be worth clearing out your bookmark for the old website and re-entering the blog address as www.dungenessbirdobs.org.uk and hopefully this may solve the problem but we are still looking into it.
