Host Claire's a bit scared of nocturnal flapping things but can The Bat Conservation Trust's Dr Parvathy Venugopal convince her there's lots to love about bats? 

We're entering Arnos Vale cemetery heritage site and nature sanctuary in the middle of Bristol, on the lookout for the wildlife that emerges in the dark. 

Keep your eyes to the skies after sunset during April to October where you might be lucky enough to spot the UK's bats flitting and feasting above your head.
