BATS
​Common and soprano pipistrelles are the bats you’re most likely to see (or hear) here. These tiny mammals weigh less than a £1 coin, yet each can eat thousands of insects in a single night.
They hunt by flying along the natural “corridors” between the trees, following paths and gaps in the canopy. As they fly, they send out bursts of high-pitched sound and listen for the echoes. It's a built-in navigation system known as echolocation or “bat sonar.” It helps them find their way and locate insects in total darkness.
​
Be here at dusk to see if you can spot them.
