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.

28th Apr

Strong ENE winds yet again restricted much of the observation to the sea but even here it was fairly quiet. Over seven hours of watching produced 30 Oystercatchers, eight Grey Plovers, 39 Whimbrel, 236 Bar-tailed Godwits, a Little Gull, a Mediterranean Gull, 638 Sandwich Terns, 478 "commic" Terns, a Manx Shearwater and the days highlight of two Pomarine Skuas.

Three Porpoises and two Grey Seals were feeding offshore.
