🦇BAT WALK🦇

Join Kildare Bat Group at Rossnaree River Walk, Meath on Saturday 8th June @ 9.40pm.

🚶‍♂️Go for a moonlit stroll and using special bat detecting equipment you will be able to ‘hear’ bats! You will learn all about these amazing flying mammals and hopefully get to see them perform their nocturnal aerial acrobatics.

🧥Please bring warm clothes as this event takes place after sunset. Children are welcome to attend but must be accompanied and supervised by a parent or guardian.

🔦There is no artificial lighting along the route (perfect for bats!) so please bring a torch in case you need to break away from the main group for any reason.

**IMPORTANT**

No dogs allowed
Wear sturdy shoes
Dress appropriately
Torch advised
