About this Event

Learn about the wonderful ways of these elusive animals while spotting them in their natural habitat. Join us on a late-evening guided walk of the park with bat detectors to try to see some in flight and hear them as they emit their echolocation calls.

You are welcome to bring your own bat detector and a red light torch if you have them, but we will also provide bat detectors for the group.
