About the event

Bats are truly remarkable mammals. They can fly! They use echolocation to ‘see’ their environment and to hunt prey. They avoid the worst of winter by going into hibernation. However, owing to their nocturnal lifestyle they are also easily overlooked. Fortunately though, we can pick up their calls using bat detectors, allowing us to identify different species, of which Britain has 18. Join Ely Local Group as we discover which of these use Roswell Pits after dark.
