Kent Ornithological Society 
I’m delighted to announce that KOS have an agreement to run a series of open days at the Dungeness RSPB Visitor centre.
After the closure of the shop, everyone is keen to develop a new programme of events and activities that are attractive to the reserve’s visitors and can bring in new ones. For KOS this is a great opportunity for us to develop a physical presence and meet more of our members (and prospective members) face to face.
Our first date is Sunday 11 May 2025 – spring is one of the best times to be at Dungeness. You’ll have the chance to other KOS members and explore Dungeness – we’ll run walks throughout the day.
Further dates for your diaries:
Sunday 17 August is the second open day with the aim of encouraging families to come along.
Sunday 28 September will feature the second Big Kent Bird Migration Watch
Further dates will be organised into 2026.
We’ll establish a page on the website so you can keep up to date with the programme and see what activities are planned.
In addition to our KOS days, we’ll be taking part in other events organised by the RSPB and, of course, we’ll be making the most of the new Shirley Coward hide to which KOS donated £5000.
We’re looking for volunteers to help meet and greet our visitors, lead walks and other activities with the opportunity to catch up with best birds at Dungeness while you are there.
If you are interested in helping (full briefing and appropriate training will be available) – do contact me This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
I look forward to meeting you!
