Greater Mouse-eared Bat is widely distributed in Western
Palearctic, hunting in forests and orchards with scarce undergrowth as
well as over freshly mown meadows. Maternity colonies are in buildings
at the north and in caves in the south. Single males were found in
buildings, tree hollows, and bat houses. Hibernation roosts are in
caves, mines and bunkers. This is one of the best-studied bat species in
Europe regarding the movements. They are either residents or regional
migrants. The first ringed bat in Serbia was of this species, in 1954 at
Church of St. Mark in Belgrade. Since then, 918 individuals were ringed
in Serbia, with 63 recovery records, most of them loco. Movements of
70-80 km have been recorded.
