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 July

At least 14 Mediterranean Gulls were seen offshore but any other movement at sea was almost non-existent.
It was also very quiet on the land with a just few Swifts passing overhead of note.

Another decent catch of moths included three Sussex Emeralds, a Mottled Beauty (surprisingly scarce here - only the third Observatory record) and an Obscure Wainscot and the pyralid Dioryctria abietella
