Bats & Bat People

Sunday, November 6th 2016

11am-1pm

£12 / £10 W&BA members

This one-off talk is part of a new initiative to explore the nature of sound and sound in nature by Waveney & Blyth Arts.

Love them or hate them, bats are intriguing animals that famously use echo-location – a beam of sound, rather than sight – for navigation and hunting; humans are now learning their techniques.

Lisa Worledge, Head of Conservation Services for the UK’s Bat Conservation Trust, is an expert on bats. What she doesn’t know about them is not worth knowing!

Dr Lore Thaler is a Human echo-locator and lecturer at Durham University. She will explain how blind American Daniel Kish learned techniques from bats and has developed echo-location to help blind people find their way around.

The talks will be followed by a question and answer session.

Venue: The Cut, New Cut, Halesworth, Suffolk, IP19 8BY
