Update

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.

10th July

Thirty Mediterranean Gulls and 20 Sandwich Terns were feeding offshore and 155 Sand Martins and a Yellow Wagtail passed overhead. 

Five Porpoise and two Grey Seals were feeding offshore.

The moth traps remain productive with a Mottled Beauty (perhaps surprisingly only our fifth record), a Brussels Lace and our seventh record of a superb Dewick's Plusia of note.
