towpath to the Watering Gates – kindly guided by Anna Collins & her colleagues from the Kildare BAT Group.

Meeting point is The Outdoor Gym on “The Strand”, Liffey Linear Park, Athgarvan Road, Newbridge, Co. Kildare.

Learn all about the secret life of bats & have your questions on bats in the locality answered.

Then join us on a short walk along the River Liffey to watch & hear some bats while using Heterodyne bat detectors.

As a minimum we hope to observe Daubenton’s Bat (Myotis daubentonii), Soprano pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pygmaeus), Common pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pipistrellus), Leisler’s bat (Nyctalus leisleri) & hopefully more species on the night.

As the event takes place on the banks of the River Liffey (on a tarmacadam path), children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Please wear warm / suitable outdoor clothing.

Car parking – including 2 adjacent disabled parking bays on nearby public streets.
