The event this evening will lead you in the search for bats along the River Crane and to discover these fascinating nocturnal animals.

The Pavilion

As our first bat walk was cancelled due to bad weather, we have arranged this second one and hoping for good weather this time. The event this evening will lead you in the search for bats along the River Crane to discover these fascinating nocturnal animals. The evening will start with a short introductory talk by Philip Briggs about bats and the species we might encounter - at least nine bat species occur locally. This will be followed by a leisurely walk along the River Crane looking for bats and listening to their calls on bat detectors. Come and see the aerial acrobatics of pipistrelles which feed regularly along the river, and maybe even see a Daubenton's bat skimming low over the water.Booking is essential as places are limited due to the number of bat detectors available. There may be some refinements to the timings, if so we shall email near the time. Please wear sturdy footwear, bring an extra layer and waterproofs in case the weather turns cold or wet in the evening, and a torch as it will be dark at the end of the walk. Booking will open a month before the event.Due to <a href="https://www.force.org.uk/assets/documents/v-safeguarding-policy-2017" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">safeguarding needs</a> all children under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
