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.

9th Dec

The strong NE wind with almost continuous rain goes on and more or less limiting observations to the sea where eight Pintail, 11 Wigeon, a Red-breasted Merganser, three Mediterranean Gulls and 657 Gannets were best on offer. The Hume's Warbler was still in situ around the Observatory garden but was very hard to get good views in the strong winds.

Two Common Seals and three Grey Seals were feeding offshore.
