Pipistrelles in Kent

Hazel Ryan, a Trustee of the Kent Bat Group, Volunteer Bat Roost Visitor and bat carer will be giving our first in-person talk of the year.

Come along and find out about the four species of Pipistrelle that have been recorded in Kent. Where they roost in summer and winter, how to identify them and what the group is doing to help their conservation.

Under IUCN guidelines Hazel will bring along some education bats for attendees to see.

Free for members but donations towards the running costs are appreciated. Suggested donation £3. Cash welcome on the night.
