Nothing quite matches the atmosphere of a night-time walk, particularly when you are searching for one of the most mysterious and misunderstood animals - bats.
Local ecologist, Beverley Rhodes, will lead you on dusk walk through Morley Hayes in search of bats in their natural habitat. You'll learn all about the different bat species and their behaviours. Using electronic detectors, we will listen for their echo-location calls as they whizz around in search of food.
Prior to the walk you will be served a delicious home-cooked meal, and Beverley will also bring her two barn owls so you will have the opportunity to hold one prior to the walk.
