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.

16th June

Another quiet day with just three Little Ringed Plovers and a Mediterranean Gull of note.

Moth trapping remarkably produced another Speckled Footman along with a Clouded Silver (only the eighth Observatory record), a Bordered Straw and a Palpita vitrealis.
