Bat walks in May
Bat Walks have proved popular with wildlife enthusiasts and Countrycare is collaborating with Essex Wildlife Trust again for the next walk on Friday 8 May, and another on Friday 18 September.

The walks are entertaining and conditions permitting, walkers usually get to detect three species, Soprano pipistrelle, Common pipistrelle and Daubenton’s bats. The events are bookable online.
