8th September 2006
Bat Walk

Around 30 people gathered at dusk to join the walk led by Leeds City Council Rangers Steve Clavering and Elaine Hill. Elaine and Steve talked about the bats native to the area and provided electronic bat detectors for people to use as the walk proceeded through the woods. They explained how the different bat species could be identified by the frequencies of noise they made, as picked up by the bat detectors. Bats identified during the evening included pipistrelles and daubentons.

Below are some photos from the event...

Instructions

Click on an image to see a larger version (it should appear in the centre of the screen on a dark background). Whilst viewing a large version, you can move on to the next image using the "Next" button (which appears when you move your mouse cursor over the right-hand side of the image) or by hitting the right-arrow key on your keyboard. Move to a previous image in a similar manner using the "Prev" button (which appears when you move your mouse cursor over the left-hand side of the image) or by hitting the left-arrow key on your keyboard. When you've done viewing the large images, leave by clicking on the "Close" button or by hitting the "Esc" key on your keyboard.

If you can't move between photos it may be because you did not wait until the whole page had finished loading before clicking on an image - just go back to the main page and wait until all the little images have finished appearing. Another possible cause is that JavaScript is unavailable on your web browser for some reason - in this case the larger images will open as single images and you will not be able to use the extra image browsing functions.
