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.

2nd Aug

Surprisingly quiet on the land with just a handful of Willow Warblers in and around the Moat and a steady movement of Sand Martins moving south.

The sea was covered for most of the morning and produced a single Manx Shearwater along with 850 Gannets and a steady flow of Sandwich and Common Terns.

Ten Porpoises and a Grey Seal were feeding offshore.
