Join us for a walk after dark at High Angle Battery on Portland to discover more about the world of bats and other creatures of the night.

Join us at High Angle Battery on Portland for an evening bat walk. As dusk arrives we will search for bats emerging from the "ghost tunnels" (as they are known locally) using hand held bat detectors.
