Bats About Newbridge @ Sunset
August 12, 2023 @ 8:45 pm - 11:00 pm
Enjoy a sunset bat talk & walk along the Green Flag For Parks Liffey Linear Park towpath with Newbridge Tidy Towns & Kildare Bat Group – kindly guided by Anna
Collins & her colleagues from the Kildare Bat Group.
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.
At 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.
