VISITORS to an arboretum will get the chance to see six different species of bat tomorrow.
Thorpe Perrow Arboretum, near Bedale, is holding a batwatching event, from 7.30pm.
John Drewett, who is a member of the Bat Conservation Trust, will lead a two-and-a-half hour walk and talk. He will identify species according to flight patterns and using a bat detector, that identifies the bats' high-frequency calls.
Possible sightings include Common and Soprano Pipistrelles, Daubentons, Natterers, Brown Long-Eared bats and Noctules.
An introduction to birds of prey, including displays, will also take place.
