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.

30th Sep

A foul day of strong SSE winds and almost constant rain. The only sensible option was seawatching but this was ultimately underwhelming with eight hours of coverage producing just 51 Brent Geese, seven Teal, two Red-breasted Mergansers, a Knot, two Dunlin, a Little Gull, seven Mediterranean Gulls, two Little Terns, three Black Terns, 312 Sandwich Terns, six Arctic Skuas, a juvenile Pomarine Skua, a Great Skua, four Sooty Shearwaters, 21 Balearic Shearwaters and a Merlin in off.

Four Porpoise and two Grey Seals were feeding offshore.
