Surveying for the rare Bechstein’s bat ( Myotis bechsteinii ) in northern Iberian peninsula by means of an acoustic lure
Abstract In the Araba province (Basque Country, Iberian Peninsula) we surveyed for the rare Bechstein’s bat ( Myotis bechsteinii ) using a recently developed method based on an acoustic lure, the Sussex AutoBat. We surveyed 16 deciduous woodlands, an irrigation pool and a cave, a total of 45 sites....

In total, we captured 32 bats representing 6 genera and 10 species; among these, 6 M. bechsteinii , 3 M. daubentonii , 4 Nyctalus leisleri , 5 Plecotus auritus , 1 P. austriacus , and 1 Barbastella barbastellus were caught using the acoustic lure. Two of the Bechstein’s bats were lactating females. By radiotracking one of them, we found the third known breeding colony for this rare species in the Iberian Peninsula.
