Join Newbridge Tidy Towns & Kildare Bat Group & enjoy a sunset bat talk & walk along the Green Flag For Parks Liffey Linear Park on the Strand & along the towpath to the Watering Gates – kindly guided by Anna Collins & her colleagues from the Kildare BAT Group.
Meeting point is The Outdoor Gym on “The Strand”
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.
As 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.
