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.
You can still support the Obs by using Give as you Live when shopping online.

28th July

Most of the interest remains offshore but even here it was fairly quiet. Over 4.5hrs of seawatching produced just a Tufted Duck, 45 Common Scoters, 54 Kittiwakes, just one Mediterranean Gull, 51 Sandwich Terns, 319 Common Terns, an Arctic Skua, a party of nine Razorbills and a Little Egret. Just 15 Sand Martins and two Willow Warblers were seen on the land.

Four Porpoise and a Grey Seal were feeding offshore.
