The serotine is a large, broad-winged bat with dark facial skin and brown fur tipped more lightly. It occurs across Europe, North Africa and western and Central Asia. Buildings are frequent roosts, although trees and rock crevices are also used. It flies steadily over woodland edges, pasture, farmland and towns while catching beetles, moths and other insects.
