<h3>🌙 About the Event</h3>Join us for an early evening walk to discover the bats of Worcester! This event is exclusively for University of Worcester students and offers a chance to learn about local bat species, how to detect them using bat detectors, and how to support bat conservation.While late autumn isn’t the peak season for bat activity, we’re hoping to spot a few species as they prepare for overwintering. It’s a great opportunity to experience bat surveying techniques and enjoy a twilight walk through bat-friendly habitats.Meeting Point: St Andrew’s Spire, Worcester (What Three Words: grit.love.drips) <h3>🔍 What to Expect</h3><ul><li>Introduction to bat ecology and identification</li><li>Use of bat detectors to hear echolocation calls</li><li>A relaxed walk through bat-friendly habitats</li></ul> <h3>🧰 What to Bring</h3><ul><li>Warm clothing and comfortable shoes</li><li>A torch or headlamp (optional)</li></ul> <h3>✅ Good to Know</h3><ul><li>This event is for University of Worcester students only.</li><li>The walk is under 2 miles and includes some steps and uneven paths.</li><li>We’ll go ahead in light rain but will postpone in poor weather—registered attendees will be notified by email.</li></ul>
