Bats of Portugal: Field Trip (Vila do Bispo) - Full
Bats are among the most fascinating and least known mammals in Portugal's fauna. On this outing, you will have the opportunity to discover their fundamental role in ecosystems and learn more about their biology, behavior, and conservation. At dusk, we will observe bats in flight and detect their presence using ultrasound equipment, which allows us to hear and identify the different species. An ideal activity for families and anyone who wants to learn more about one of the most important mammal groups in Portugal.
This activity is promoted by Vanessa Mata and Diogo Oliveira.
