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.

16th Apr

Seawatching was very slow today but over ten hours of watching eventually produced two Velvet Scoters, 385 Common Scoters, 45 Kittiwakes, 37 Mediterranean Gulls, six Arctic Skuas, a Pomarine and a Great Skua, 1177 Gannets and a Little Egret. Very quiet on the land except for a Little Ringed Plover in the station carpark in the morning. 

Six Porpoises, a Common Seal and a Grey Seal were seen offshore and a Brown Seal was also seen.
