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 July

Nothing much to report in the bird line with just 40 Swifts and a Yellow Wagtail overhead this morning.

 A check of the Long Pits this morning produced four Red-veined Darters (including a mating pair)..

Whilst the mothtrap produced our fifth-ever Cypress Carpet it will actually be remembered more for the sheer numbers of the pyralid Synaphe punctalis which came to the lights with a rough estimate of 15,000 individuals being recorded..
