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.

5th June

With fresh westerly winds and drizzle for much of the day most of the interest was offshore. Nearly nine hours of seawatching produced a very early Balearic Shearwater and 37 Manx Shearwaters along with 79 Common Scoters, 94 Sandwich Terns, 18 Mediterranean Gulls, five Arctic Skuas, seven Fulmars and 220 Gannets.

Two Porpoises and a Grey Seal were feeding offshore.

A Mediterranean Stick-insect was still showing in the Observatory garden.
