The Regent's Park after Dark: Bats and Fungi

Tuesday 6 October 6:15-8:15pm and Friday 9 October 6-8pm

As daylight fades and The Regent’s Park quietens, a hidden world begins to stir. Join us for this atmospheric walk that blends wildlife spotting with ecology, conservation and a deeper understanding of how urban parks can thrive after dark.

• You’ll discover how the park transforms after hours and why it plays such an important role for London’s nocturnal wildlife.
• Using bat detectors, you’ll tune into the ultrasonic calls of different bat species as they hunt overhead, learning how scientists identify bats by sound and behaviour.
• We will explore the darkness searching for fungi, using ultraviolet torches to illuminate those that fluoresce, whilst discovering the species which may even support bats.
• This walk also explores the wider cast of nocturnal species that share the park and the intricate web of habitats that supports them once the sun goes down.
