JOIN US FOR A BAT WALK ON MARSTON MARSH! 21st August

Our bat walk will be led by an expert volunteer from the Norfolk & Norwich Bat Group. They will provide the equipment and knowledge to discover the various species that utilise the habitats within the marsh.

We will meet at 8:15pm at the golf course entrance to the marsh, at the bottom of Abinger way. This will allow us time to sort out bat detectors and learn how to use them. After a safety briefing, we will set off along the paths, walking slowly and stopping at intervals to listen for bat activity. Our bat experts, will provide interesting facts throughout the walk and there will be lots of time to ask questions. We will aim finish at about 10:00pm.

We hope to hear a number of bat species including Daubenton’s, Noctule and Pipistrelle. But bat activity is always dependent on the weather, so nothing can be guaranteed.

To allow more people to discover the world of bats, bat detectors will be shared. Please donate to Norfolk and Norwich Bat Group Norfolk and Norwich Bat Group – Registered charity number 1201847 as part of booking this event. We suggest £5 per person.

This guided walk is suitable for anyone aged 8 years and above (Although please take into account the late timings). Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.The distance will depend on bat activity, but will be less than a mile. We will walk at a slow pace for approximately 30 minutes depending on bat activity, interest and conditions. However, as some terrain may be a little rough and as it will be dark, please ensure you feel confident walking in these conditions.
