# Event Details

- **Event Name**: National Bat Monitoring Programme workshop 1 - Using Your Ears
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 01 May, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Fri, 01 May, 2026 at 10:00 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: Want to develop your bat identification skills? Interested in understanding bat sounds?

In the classroom learn to identify four bat species by sound, then practice your skills outside at dusk!

We will start with an introduction to bats and how we can hear their high-frequency sounds using a heterodyne bat detector. You will listen to pipistrelles, noctule, serotine and Daubenton's bats to illustrate a range of different bat sounds to train your "sonic memory". We will break bat sounds into four elements: repetition rate, rhythm, tonal quality, and pitch. You will learn how and why these elements vary between different species, and how to find the "peak frequency" using a heterodyne detector.

We will also give you an overview of the National Bat Monitoring Programme (NBMP) and encourage you to take part in the Field Survey and/or Waterway Survey.

This workshop is run in partnership with Tayside Bat Group and will be led by Jean Oudney, Myotis Bat Ecology & Tuition.

We will start indoors at 7pm, with a practical session outside from dusk which will finish about 10pm.

Please bring a heterodyne detector and head torch if you have these (we will have some spares), and wear shoes/boots and clothing suitable for wearing outside in the evening.

No prior knowledge is needed, and there is no obligation to sign up to carry out NBMP surveys - but we hope you will!!
