WILDLIFE enthusiasts can join a public walk to explore the hidden world of bats.

The walk, organised by the South Lancashire Bat Group, will visit some of the 32 millponds in the Kirklees Valley, running from Bury to Tottington and Hawkshaw, where the bats are known to roost.

The walk will set off this Friday from the top of Mill Street, off Royds Street, Tottington, at 8.30pm.

To join the walk, call Martin on 0161-796-6211 or 0794-648-8467 or, for more information on the South Lancashire Bat Group, call the Bat Line on 764-8850.
