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.

There was a handful of birds on the land with highlight of a briefly seen Lesser Whitethroat (presumably of an eastern subspecies) along with three Woodcocks, a Merlin, eight Chiffchaffs, a Dartford Warbler, a Firecrest and seven Goldcrests. Three Water Rails were also calling in the Trapping Area. Seawatching produced five Shelducks, a Goldeneye, two Red-breasted Mergansers and two Sandwich Terns.

A Common Seal and a Grey Seal were feeding offshore.
