Description
Summary:The paper is reporting on the results of the bat observations conducted in the attic of the main building of the Eszterházy Károly Collage between 1991 and 2010. Seven bat species were observed: Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, Myotis myotis/oxygnathus, Myotis emarginatus, Plecotus austriacus, Eptesicus serotinus, Pipistrellus pipstrellus, and Vespertilio murinus. Considerable colonies of Rh. ferrumequinum and Myotis myotis/oxygnathus were discovered. Due to the negative effects of the increasing numbers of pigeons in the attic, the bat population started to decline. In order to revitalise and conserve this significant bat habitat the pigeons should be exluded, and special bat entrances should be installed which could ensure the entrance of bats including the Rh. ferrumequinum, which species has special needs like wide openings through which they can fly into the attic.
