Epstesicus serotinus - Serotine Bat
Serotine bats are fairly common in the south-east of England; they are
also occasional sightings in the West-country but this species is rarely
if ever seen in Wales.
Habitat and flight
Serotine bats are sometimes seen in towns. They emerge early in the
evening and fly low to catch moths, beetles and other largish insects.
Roosts
Summer colonies of a dozen to fifty serotine bats have been found in
the lofts of houses and other buildings, and that is usually where they
hibernate.
