Observation of bat activity using bat detectors. Moderators: Blanka Lehotská and Roman Lehotský.

Castle bats belong to permanent visitors, or rather residents of Červený Kamen, who accompanied us both every year and for the
entire season of 2023. They are mysterious animals, fascinating for some, scary for others, in any case rare animals. During 
the Harvest Festival, the SNM-Múzeum Červený Kameň will therefore join forces with the Miniopterus organization to participate
in the International Night of Bats event.
Under the baton of Blanka Lehotská and Roman Lehotský, you will find an overview of the most important species of bats, getting
to know bats from Červený Kameň Castle, bat rescue, personal contact with bats in rehabilitation, demonstrations of tools for 
research and monitoring of bats, bat detectors, a short film about the summer colony of bats, but also listening to bat sounds
using detectors.
