NBMP Level 2 Bat Detector Workshop - "Using Your Ears", West Glamorgan, Wales

This bat detector workshop involves an evening classroom session followed by a walk in the grounds of the centre. Bat sounds are broken down into four elements in order to train people's sonic memory and aid species identification using a heterodyne bat detector in the field. The focus is on pipistrelles, noctule, serotine and Daubenton's bat as these illustrate a range of different bat sounds. The training also includes an introduction to the National Bat Monitoring Programme and how you can take part.
