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

Gale-force winds overnight remained strong and with rain through the morning meant seawatching was the best (only) option. A three-hour session produced 19 Fulmars, 12 Manx Shearwaters, 300 Gannets and three Great Skuas of note. Ten Swifts were also seen.

A Rest-harrow moth was found on the kitchen window before the moth traps were turned on.
