Twilight Bat Walk – Ernesettle Creek

Join the National Marine Park Coastal Rangers, the Friends of Ernesettle & Budshead Wood and Devon Bat Group for a gentle stroll around the grounds of Budshead Manor and creek pathways.

This is a beautiful spot just on the edge of Plymouth and a haven for wildlife. We will be looking and listening for the bats that call the creek home, led by the experts at Devon Bat Group, aided by their keen eyes and advanced bat detection technology. It will also be a great opportunity to talk to the ranger team about the development of the National Marine Park and what opportunities are available to the area.

Hot drinks and biscuits will be provided.
