Cragside Dusk Bat Survey

Dates will be added once organised for 2024!

Cragside House is a bat roost with bats including brown long-eared bats known to be breeding. We are going to watch the bats emerge; it’s a complex building and we are trying to find access points. We will have some bat detectors to share and there will be lots of interesting kit to have a look at.

We are meeting by the north side of Cragside House, what three words ///courtyard.floating.heartened

The car park is at NU073023, the post code is NE65 7PX.

We need a few people to cover all the exits and we need to arrange access, so please can you let Tina know if you are planning to come, on malinka1999@btinternet.com
