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.

9th Apr

Another quiet day with misty conditions and a freshening NE wind. The morning seawatch produced just five Greylag Geese, seven Shelducks, a Mediterranean Gull and 173 Sandwich Terns of interest. Not a great deal on the land either with three Siskins and a Corn Bunting being about the best on offer.
