About the event

In celebration of International Bat Night, join Monitoring and Research Officer, Henry Stanier, for this exciting guided walk as he surveys the bats of Woodwalton Fen National Nature Reserve and learn how we carry out our wildlife monitoring. Use a bat detector to identify the many species of bats, learn about the habitats they live in and their varied lifestyles.
