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.

6th April

A miserable morning of rain and poor visibility produced a decent seawatch with 1024 Brent Geese, a Garganey, 12 Eider, two Velvet Scoters, 1140 Common Scoters, six Little Gulls, 125 Sandwich Terns, an Arctic Skua and a Great Northern Diver of note. Two Common Redstarts were seen at the Long Pits but other migrants on the land were almost non-existent.

Four Porpoises were feeding offshore.
