Bat Walks
 
Mysterious magical mammals of the night are just waiting to be discovered on these fun dusk time walks.

Join a friendly Ranger armed with a bat detector and listen to the haunting sounds these creatures make. Gain a unique insight into the fascinating world of these fabulous creatures and see if you can learn to spot the difference between Brown Long-eared, Pipistrelle and Daubentons!

Watch them flying from their daytime roosts in search of a good tasty meal of moths and midges. Hear about their interesting lifecycles and how Rothiemurchus is lending them a helping hand.
