Our Latest Bat Walk

On Friday 10th May 2024 we held our latest Bat Walk in the Cemetery, we started in the Rose Garden in the park and when dusk fell we moved on in to the Cemetery.
We had around  50 people attend the event including about 12 children who stayed up late.
We saw common and soprano pipistrelle bats and heard them on the detectors.
We also got traces on Peter’s echo meter ( a more high tech device) for Noctule bats and Natterer’s bats.
Peter gave a talk before the walk which was very informative and well received.
