Walk Description

Ever wondered what happens in nature after dark? Step into an invisible world of glowing colours, hidden nocturnal creatures, and fascinating science on a guided after-dark adventure. While most people experience nature in shades of green and brown, we invite you to see it transformed into a spectacular display of vibrant colours and glowing textures. ✨ What makes this safari unforgettable? • Thermal Wildlife Tracking: Spot owls, hedgehogs, badgers, bats, and roosting birds hidden in the dark using high-tech thermal cameras. • Glowing Biofluorescence: Watch in awe as fungi, lichens, plants, and nocturnal minibeasts reveal vibrant, glowing colours under specialised UV torches. • Expert-Guided Discovery: Discover the science behind light, vision, biofluorescence and infra-red imaging. 📍 Locations & Availability • RSPB Fowlmere Nature Reserve (Saturday evenings) • Royston, Stotfold Watermill Nature Reserve & other local gems 🍂 Autumn & winter nights offer the absolute best conditions for thermal tracking and UV discovery, making this the perfect local night-out adventure! Great for nature lovers, curious minds, families with children, photographers and anyone looking for a local adventure. Torches and protective glasses provided. We'll also bring bat detectors in case bats emerge from hibernation on milder evenings! We take care to ensure safe and responsible use of equipment and adherence to the 'Leave No Trace' principles.
