Schreiber’s Bent-winged Bat is present in a wide spectrum
of Mediterranean habitats, mostly hunting in open and semi-open
habitats including around street lights. Maternity colonies are mostly in
caves and abandoned mines, with several hundred to several thousand
individuals. Hibernation colonies are in underground shelters with
stable microclimate and may reach 80,000 individuals. This species is
a regional migrant, moving 40-100 km between summer and winter
roosts. Since 1955 there were 2,945 ringed bats of this species in Serbia,
with 138 recovery records. Although most recovery records were loco,
there were 9 bats that travelled more than 100 km between the ringing
and recovery sites. There were five cases where bats travelled across
borders: two from Petrovaradin to Zvornik (Bosnia-Herzegovina), two
from Vernjikica and Ravanička Pećina caves to Vidin (Bulgaria) and
one from Vršac to Sasca Montană (Romania). The most important
localities in Serbia are Petrovaradin Fortress and caves in vicinity of
Valjevo with regular exchange of individuals.
