Advanced Bat Survey Techniques - fully booked!

Combining 1 theory day online (4th August) with three days and two nights in in Durlston, Dorset (6 - 8th August), attendees will be given theoretical and practical experiences of acoustic lures, harp traps, mist nets and radio tracking.

The course is suitable for experienced bat surveyors wishing to gain practical experience towards obtaining advanced bat survey licenses.
