Great Garden Bat Watch

Please join the Jersey Bat Group for the second Great Garden Bat Watch!

This event combines the joy of (hopefully!) watching bats with citizen science based research that can help us better understand bats across Jersey.

We are particularly keen to receive sightings of bats from St Helier and other urban areas around the Island to help us with our research into Jersey’s urban bat populations.

Summer is here! Come and find out what the bats are doing while you are enjoying your evening walks. Bat detectors will be available.At this time of year bats are busy feeding their young and themselves - making the most of all the insects they can catch! Since their calls are beyond our hearing you may not be aware of all the activity going on around you when you go for an evening walk. Come and find out how to spot them, and learn lots about these fascinating mammals. The walk will start with a chat about local bat species and an explanation as to how echolocation works. Then we will set off on a walk using bat detectors to help us detect the bats around us.NB If the event has to be cancelled due to unsuitable weather conditions, attendees will receive a refund.www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/public-bat-walk-wednesday-28th-july-2021-tickets-162956614621 Jersey Wildlife Jersey Evening Post Channel 103 Jersey Biodiversity Centre BBC Jersey Bat Conservation Trust Association of Jersey Charities Jersey Conservation Volunteers EcoJersey Bailiwick Express Jersey's Climate Conversation ITV Channel TV ...
