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.

19th May

Thunderstorms overnight and during the morning grounded a couple of Spotted Flycatchers but not much else.

The moth traps provided most of the interest with our sixth-ever Striped Hawkmoth and the third record of the tortrix Celypha rufana.
