Bat lovers should fly to Stowe Landscape Gardens on Sunday 4th May for a special ‘Bat Detection Evening’. The National Trust and the North Bucks Bat Group are joining together to host an exciting evening walk for all the family around the gardens at Stowe to search for and observe bats in their natural habitat.
Stowe’s extensive gardens are home to three varieties of bats; Pipistrelles, Noctules and Daubentons, and there will be the opportunity during the walk to learn about and see all three varieties in the wild.
The walk begins at 7.15pm, just as the bats emerge from their roosts, and will last for approximately 1½ hours. The walk also provides the unique opportunity to enjoy the natural landscape of the Elysian Fields at sunset.
