Update

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 Jan

An abysmal start to the New Year with heavy rain and gale-force winds all day. Seawatching produced just 85 Brent Geese and two Velvet Scoters but very little else of any note except for a new Polish-ringed Black-headed Gull in the roost at the Point.
