Bat detector workshop: “Using Your Ears”
This introductory bat detector workshop involves an evening classroom session followed by a practical field session starting around dusk.
The workshop is for National Bat Monitoring Programme (NBMP) volunteers and also anyone with an interest in using a bat detector. It breaks down bat sounds into four elements in order to train people’s sonic memory and aid species identification using a heterodyne bat detector in the field. The focus is on pipistrelles, noctule, serotine and Daubenton’s bat as these illustrate a range of different bat sounds.
The workshop is organised by the Bat Conservation Trust (BCT), and will be led by members of North Ceredigion Bat Group. Please note that bookings are to be made directly through the Bat Conservation Trust website and not Denmark Farm.
The event is suitable for beginners, and it is not necessary to have completed the Level 1 bat detector workshop first. Further information about the workshop can be found on the Bat Conservation Trust website.
