Sunset Walk and Stargazing at RSPB Dungeness
Sunday 9th February 2025 from 16:00pm to 19:00pm
RSPB Dungeness
Dungeness Road, Romney Marsh, Kent, TN29 9PN
As day turns to night here at RSPB Dungeness, come and explore what takes place on the reserve after dark.
Beginning at dusk with a guided walk through the reserve, you’ll have the chance to spot wildlife that emerges as evening falls, including marsh harriers, owls, bats, and badgers.
With help and guidance from the Ashford Astronomical Society, they will share their tips on how to get the most out of an evening under the stars including how to spot objects with the naked eye or through binoculars, as well as offering views of incredible objects using their telescopes.
Along the way, you may also be treated to a breath taking sunset—if the skies are in our favour!
