In the past Noctule Bat preferred deciduous forests while today it has adapted to urban habitats with good shelter and food sources. Summer roosts are in woodpecker holes and other tree hollows, artificial bat roosts and wooden parts of building constructions. Winter roosts are in trees, buildings and caves. Maternity colonies include 20-50 females while hibernation colonies may be much larger. This species is seasonal long-distance migrant. Since 1972 there were 415 ringed bats in Serbia, with no recovery records. Most individuals (317) were ringed in the urban area of Belgrade City. Stanković D, Paunović M, Raković M, Editors.
