Come along and take the opportunity to learn more about these fascinating creatures and see if we can see them in their own habitat.
Bats are amazing animals, and an important part of our natural environment. There are 18 species of bat in the UK (17 of which are known to be breeding in the uk ), all of which are protected by law because their numbers have decreased so dramatically.
What are bats doing now in August?
At six weeks old, the young bats begin to catch insects for themselves and no longer need their mothers’ milk. The summer maternity colonies begin to disperse and bats may move to autumn mating roosts.
