Bat Walk at Dusk

As the light fades, bats leave their roosts and hunt for moths, mosquitoes and midges 🦇🦟 Join me for a walk at dusk to discover the bats of West Sussex. Using handheld bat detectors, we'll hear them echo-locating as they flit through the trees. This is a great location for a variety of bat species and we can discuss their ecology, lifecycle, breeding and behaviour.

Every workshop has up to 10 attendees and is held in an informal, friendly atmosphere for the best learning experience. This event is suitable for children, under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.

How to get there: We will meet just off Brandy Hole Lane, at the western entrance to the copse near the large pond - the entrance is exactly here👉🏽 https://goo.gl/maps/Q2Th7XeJna9BPJs78. Use what3words: ///limit.stag.fires

How to book: Select the number of attendees below and pay online. Or email me imprintecology@gmail.com to book your space and pay via bank transfer.

What to bring: Sturdy boots, torch with a red light (red lights are kinder for bats - bike lights are great for this!), warm clothing, water, hand sanitiser, headphones optional. Bring a bat detector if you've got one.

What if it rains? The event will be rescheduled and you will be notified 24 hours before via email.
