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.

The highlight of the day was an Osprey which flew over the area and eventually departed to the north-west.  Seventy Swifts and two Yellow Wagtails flew over and a Snipe was flushed.

Four Grey Seals and two Common Seals were feeding offshore and a Brown Hare was seen in the Desert.

A September Thorn was trapped overnight and was a new species for the Observatory and was the third area record.

Two Norfolk Hawkers were seen in the Trapping Area.
