The
Galway branch of the Irish Wildlife Trust in association with the Galway
Bat Group will host a public guided bat walk in Terryland Forest Park
this Saturday (May 27th).
Rendezvous: 9.30pm in the Dunnes Stores (Headford Road) car park.
A scientific survey by students from NUI Galway undertaken under the
stewardship of Dr. Catriona Carlin found six species of bat living in
the park - Leisler, Daubenton, Brown Long-eared, Nathusias pipistrelle,
Common pipistrelle and Soprano pipistrelle.
The walk is free and
all are welcome to attend.
Bat detectors will be available for
participants. For those taking part in the walk, please remember to wear
suitable walking shoes and clothing.
The walk will commence in
the section of the Terryland Forest Park behind Dunnes Stores, moving
towards the woodlands adjacent to the Liosbaun business park.
