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.

11th Sep

Calm conditions resulted in another decent arrival of Chiffchaffs and Blackcaps in the bushes and a large overhead movement of Siskins with at least 230 birds counted. Swallows and House Martins also flew through in small numbers.

 Still very quiet offshore with just a first-winter Yellow-legged Gull and an Arctic Skua seen.

 At least 39 Porpoises were seen offshore this morning in flat calm conditions.

 A female Southern Oak Bush-cricket was found in the Observatory Garden.
