Let's go batty! at Thatcham Nature Discovery Centre
Enjoy an evening bat walk around the Thatcham Nature Discovery Centre lake.
The lakes and insects that fly above it act as a magnet to several species of bat. You'll wait until dusk and venture out with bat detectors and torches to discover what is in the evening sky. Dave Endicott from the Oxford bat group is a mine of bat related information and will help with identification, and answer all your bat questions.
Prices
£4.50 per person, booking essential.
