102. Sandwich Bay Bird Observatory important and regular contributions were made to the newly formed KentOrnithology Society which opened a new era of bird recording within the county. http://www.sbbo.co.uk/history.htm

Sandwich Bay Bird Observatory Trust A BRIEF HISTORY The Sandwich Bay coastline and all the marshes inland to the River Stour have been created by the northerly drift of sand and shingle, together with deposits of alluvium over many centuries. This process is still taking place. It is interesting to reflect that almost all of the area of the Sandwich Bay Nature Reserve has been laid down since the 18th century. Great changes have taken place since the Sandwich Tern and the Kentish Plover regularly bred here and were first described by Dr John Latham, the eminent naturalist of the day from specimens taken at Sandwich Bay in 1784 and 1787 by William Boys, Sandwich historian and Fellow of the Linnaean Society The sandhills have attracted naturalists to study the rich flora and fauna of the area, a stretch of coastal dunes unique in the County of Kent and recognised as being of the highest scientific and amenity value. View from Observatory track The colony of Little Terns has been wardened in conjunction with the Kent Trust for Nature Conservation, but as with most colonies of this species in this country, they are declining for reasons badly understood. Sandwich Bay was one of the first of the country's independent ringing stations and it began in 1952. Official Observatory status was achieved in 1962 when, with the kind co-operation of Mr A Daw and sons we were able to move into our present headquarters. The ringing and recording are still carried out within the rules of the Bird Observatories Council and the British Trust for Ornithology.
