Bat Walks
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.
Throughout the summer holidays there will be bat walks on Tuesdays, timed to try to catch bats as they head out to hunt.
