About this event

Use hand-held bat detectors to hear and identify species such as Common Pipistelle, Sopranos and Noctules over the water and around Flasks and Kiln Lake with the guidance of local bat expert David Watkins. We will also have the opportunity to watch bats using thermal imaging technology.

This event is likely to continue until around midnight.
