Latin name: Nyctalus leisleri
Size: Wingspan up to 330mm
Distribution: Rare. Mainly found in England, southern Scotland,
Northern Ireland and north Wales.
Months seen: April to October.
Echolocation Frequency: 20 - 30 kHz
Habitat: Roosts in trees and buildings.
Food: Beetles, moths and flies.
Special features: Leisler's bat is sometimes called the 'lesser noctule'
or the 'hairy-armed bat' on account of the longer hair around the shoulders. It
has a shaggy coat, similar to the serotine bat, but
the dark brown face is similar to the noctule bat.
The tragus is short and rounded.
