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.

A cold and strong NE restricted any migration on the land but there was a steady movement of birds offshore. Twelve hours of seawatching produced ten Shelducks, 26 Oystercatchers, three Grey Plovers, 69 Whimbrel, 390 Bar-tailed Godwits, two Sanderlings, 1064 Sandwich Terns and two Arctic Skuas. A Swift, 44 Swallows, four Yellow Wagtails and a Rock Pipit also arrived.
