Join us for a unique chance to visit our reserve with a warden at dusk. First, you'll check a moth trap to see wonderful species of moths that have been caught such as the ruby tiger and elephant hawk-moth before setting off for the night.

You'll then walk around some of the reserve, firstly looking for barn owls at dusk before searching for bats when it becomes dark. Our Reserve Warden will talk to you about tracking, recording and identifying bats, and you'll get to use a bat detector to hear the sounds of different bat species.

Please note the event involves walking over rough terrain and is up to approximately 3 miles of walking in total.
