If you’ve ever admired a photograph of a bat, you’ve likely come across the work of Daniel Hargreaves. His images have been widely used by the Bat Conservation Trust and many other organisations to inspire interest in bats and promote their conservation.

Daniel has photographed a remarkable variety of bat species in the UK and around the world, capturing images and footage that reveal behaviours most of us rarely have the opportunity to see.
For this special in-person talk in Kenilworth, Daniel will share stories, techniques, and secrets behind his photography. He’ll also bring along some of the equipment he uses and explain how technology, fieldcraft, patience – and plenty of time spent in the dark – come together to produce memorable images of our favourite mammals.

Daniel has been fascinated by bats from a young age and has travelled extensively, working with many different species around the world. In 2012, he received the Pete Guest Award from the Bat Conservation Trust in recognition of his outstanding voluntary contribution to bat conservation. He currently works as Bat Programme Manager for the Vincent Wildlife Trust.

Alongside his conservation work, Daniel has a particular passion for bat photography and night-vision filming. He spends countless hours observing and documenting bats, using cameras and specialist equipment to capture fascinating aspects of their behaviour after dark.

Expect beautiful images, fascinating stories and plenty of practical insight into the challenges – and rewards – of photographing bats.

The talk will be delivered in person at the Kenilworth Senior Citizens’ Club and online on Zoom.
