Join us on our Blessington Reserve for a fun and interesting bat walk. With its old stone bridge, mature trees and waterways our Blessington Reserve is the perfect habitat for bats. Ireland’s bats are fascinating, curious and important animals all of which are protected under European conservation law. Did you know that bats aren’t blind, that they don’t get stuck in your hair and that they are the only mammals to fly! Join us to learn about these furry little native woodland inhabitants and to see how many we can spot with our bat detector. On the walk you will be guided through our Blessington reserve at nightfall stopping to see how many bats and other creatures we can see and hear.
