About this Event
We'll look out for bats and use detectors (provided) to listen to their echolocation calls and hopefully spot them in flight.
We'll also be on the lookout for other night-time friends like the resident fox, hedgehogs and if we're really lucky, hear the Tawny owl call.
You are welcome to bring your own bat detector and please bring a torch if you have one (red light is preferred to not disturb the nocturnal wildlife)
