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.

28th Jan

Limited coverage but a morning seawatch saw 296 Red-throated Diver and 533 auk species coming out of the bay. Two first-winter Caspian Gulls were found on an afternoon visit to the Patch but conditions were difficult and rapidly became impossible as thick fog rolled in.

Two Grey Seals and a Common Seal were feeding offshore.
