Brown Long-eared Bat
Plecotus auritus
Brown long-eared bats roost in tree holes, old buildings, barns, and woodland edges across much of Europe. They hunt mostly at night, flying slowly and maneuvering tightly among branches while taking moths, beetles, flies, and other insects, often gleaning prey from leaves or bark. Their exceptionally large ears help them hear faint rustles, and they can use quiet echolocation calls that make them hard for insects to detect.
