Moray Council countryside ranger Doug Hawkes will lead a crepuscular outing to Spynie Palace, near Elgin, on Saturday evening to look for bats.
A colony of bats roost in the historic building and become active at dusk when they can be seen flying around the grounds.
Doug will be armed with an electronic bat detector which reduces the high-pitched frequency of their calls to a level where they can be picked up by the human ear.
The two-hour event begins at 8.45pm at the Spynie Palace car park which is signposted off the A941 Elgin-Lossiemouth road.
