Nature Detectives
Go Batty
Bats fly around at Faurefold and are most active in the summer – The best time to see them is around sunset when they swoop around hunting for insects.
Faurefold has two set of bat detection handsets which pick up the high-frequency clicks and buzzes of bats using echolocation to hunt
You can borrow the detectors free of charge. All you need to bring is 2 AA batteries per set. Please ask so that they can be made available. Please use the contact form below to request use of the sets during your stay
