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.

1st Dec

Today's highlight was a Hume's Warbler which was first heard calling from the front garden of the Observatory as I was checking through an empty moth-trap. It was very difficult to see but eventually we were able to get good enough views to confirm its identity but it soon disappeared as the weather closed in and was not seen again after 0830hrs. 

Seawatching produced an easterly movement of 268 Brent Geese, (surely not returning birds already?), three Mediterranean Gulls and 323 Gannets

Two Grey Seals were feeding offshore.
