Bat Walk at Pitcairn Centre & Coul Den Local Nature Reserve

Join us for an evening exploration of the nocturnal world as we set out on a guided bat walk around the Pitcairn Centre and the beautiful Coul Den Local Nature Reserve.

As dusk falls, we’ll use handheld bat detectors to listen in on the incredible ultrasonic calls of bats as they emerge to hunt. Along the way, you’ll learn about the species found locally, their behaviour, and the important habitats they rely on at this time of year.

This relaxed, family-friendly walk is a great way to discover wildlife after dark and experience the reserve at night.

What to expect:

• A gentle evening walk around Pitcairn Centre & Coul Den LNR
• Use of bat detectors (provided – but feel free to bring your own!)
• Insight into local bat species and nighttime ecology
• A chance to experience nature after dark with our Conservation Team

What to bring:

• Warm clothing and sensible outdoor footwear
• A torch
• Your own bat detector if you have one

Come along and enjoy a memorable night-time wildlife experience!
