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.

19th Aug

A wet morning but still very warm. Disappointing on the land with just 22 Willow Warblers, 18 Lesser Whitethroats and 12 Wheatears in the bushes and 15 Yellow Wagtails overhead of interest. Three Whimbrels, 27 Turnstones, three Mediterranean Gulls, 415 Sandwich Terns, 41 Common Terns and an Arctic Skua of note.

Four Porpoises were feeding offshore.

The moth traps produced a Portland Ribbon Wave, 30 Delicates, 18 Small Mottled Willows and a Small Ranunculus.

The White-winged Black Tern was still showing very well on the RSPB Reserve.
