Ringing has occurred on this site since the 1950's, the observatory
being established in 1962 on 13 acres (5ha) of pine and scrub covered
dunes between the shore and the Broadwater at Holme-next-the-Sea. This
strategic position is a key migration point allowing the observation
study of the various streams of migrants arriving, leaving or passing
through the county. The area is designated as a Site of Special
Scientific Interest.
