About International Bat Night
Atomic batteries to power - detectors to the ready...it's International Bat Night again! Robin should be safely in bed but the Batman theme continues for 2024 with the return of the hugely popular bat walk through the Country Park, joining bat enthusiast around the world on this day.
Join the Countryside Ranger and volunteers from Clyde Bat Group along to share their knowledge and expertise on all things batty. Last year we had a treat of Pipistrelle watching followed by a show from the UK's only water bat, the Daubenton's bat. We don't have to go far to see the bats so the walk is suited to all abilities.
