About this event

Join us at dusk to discover the hidden world of nocturnal mammals! We will be discussing some of their mysterious behaviours and wonderful adaptations which have helped them become some of the most successful species around the globe.

Learn how to use bat detectors to listen to their squeaky echolocation calls & how to identify different species common in the UK. We'll follow it up with a post-walk newsletter that will answer any burning questions you may have.

Children (12+) are welcome!

Meeting place – the Bandstand in Battersea Park (public toilets nearby) at 7.00pm.

Public transport links – Battersea Park & Queenstown Road (overground, 20 min walk), Battersea Power Station (Northern line, 20 min walk), local buses.

We will start at the Bandstand and finish by one of the park exits (nearer to the station side).


Should the weather be unsuitable for conducting the walk, we will postpone and reschedule it, letting you know as soon as possible.
