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.

27th July

Very quiet with just 61 Sand Martins, 15 Willow Warblers and two Yellow Wagtails of interest.

A Brown Hare was seen at the Point.

However the highlight of the day was an adult White-rumped Sandpiper which was watched from Hanson Hide at the ARC Pit for a few hours this afternoon.
