Join us for a family-friendly walk to look for bats using bat detectors.
After an expert-led talk by Tony Parker about bats and identifying bats using bat detectors, we will head out into the woods to see what bats we pick up! The route will take us up to the Bridgewater Canal, which is an excellent site for watch for bats hunting for insects over the water.
This bat walk will be part of the City Nature Challenge weekend, when cities around the world collaborate to share observations of nature. Recording wildlife helps us learn about local and global biodiversity, and can be vital for understanding our changing environment.
Pre-booking for this event is essential! Pre-booking closes at 11:45 the night before the event or when tickets sell out, so book now to avoid disappointment!
