Microbats at Cheltenham Park

Microbats are everywhere, but they are small and difficult to see. They come out as the sun sets to hunt for insects using echolocation.

Join Friends of Native Wildlife at Cheltenham Park to look for these flying mammals. Wander around with us and our bat detectors as the sun sets. The detector allows us to hear their ultrasonic calls. If you are really lucky, you might even be able to see them flying in the dark.
