Go Bats at Holyrood Park!
Join us for an informative chat about bats before heading out on a night time walk
Come and explore the fascinating world of bats! Join a ranger for a brief talk about the life cycle and habits of these fascinating creatures, then venture out to Holyrood Park for a night time walk to see them feeding. You can even have a go with a bat-detector to hear them!
