Batty about Lesser Horseshoe Bats
Unlock the Secrets of the Isle’s Elusive Bats!
Join us on Monday 8th September at 7pm at iMuseum for a fascinating evening with Dr Kate McAney from the Vincent Wildlife Trust, a leading expert on the elusive Lesser Horseshoe Bat. Since the 1980s, Kate has been at the forefront of bat conservation in Ireland, setting up protected roosts, leading surveys, and monitoring these rare creatures in the wild.
Hear Kate share her insights into their mysterious lives, from roosting habits to conservation successes. You will also get a behind-the-scenes look at bat specimens from Manx National Heritage that help protect these amazing animals.
Tea, coffee, and biscuits will be served after the talk, giving you a chance to chat, ask questions, and dive even deeper into the world of bats.
Don’t miss this chance to meet one of the UK & Ireland’s top bat experts and explore the hidden life of our winged neighbours!
