Corona Virus Update

We are very pleased to be accepting bookings at the Observatory. In order to keep staff and visitors as safe as possible, we will be requesting that you take a Lateral Flow Test (provided) before you first come in. The hides will be open for 'Friends of DBOT'. However, we would request that you continue to observe safe practises and sanitiser and spray will continue to be provided to clean down the handles and closures in the hide after you have used it.

Please forward any Dungeness recording area records to the Warden.
You can still support the Obs by using Give as you Live or Amazon Smile when shopping online.

3rd March

A lovely sunny day today which sadly did nothing for the birding. Very little going past at sea but still good numbers of Cormorant and Great Crested Grebe offshore.

On the RSPB Reserve a single Jack Snipe was noteworthy. 2 Great White Egret, 2 Long-eared Owl, 2 Black-necked Grebe and plenty of Smew still dotted around.
