Bat Walk at St Cyrus NNR

https://www.nature.scot/bat-walk-st-cyrus-nnr

Come and meet our nocturnal flying mammals. These creatures are not as blind as the saying suggests, they are able to map out the area around them and catch a moth in mid-air or pick a spider from its web. Borrow our bat detectors and discover the secret world of the bat’s echo location. Please come dressed for the weather conditions, and bring a torch if you have one.
