Bat Walk at Grassmoor Country Park

We will be looking for different species of bats, using bat detectors to hear their fantastic calls (which the human ear cannot detect!). Watch and learn how these incredible nocturnal predators hunt for prey and navigate around the landscape using a special kind of sonar.
