In 2007 in the course of a study on bats in the newly established protection area \u201eSteinriegelhang\u201c near Bebenhausen in the natural park Sch\u00f6nbuch and again in 2008 we succeeded to obtain echolocation calls of the barbastelle on several occasions. The barbastelle bat can be easily identified on the basis of its characteristic calls. The acoustic records suggest that this species is on the way back to its former distribution area in and around T\u00fcbingen. However, nothing is known about actual roosts. It is the try to obtain more information about this by using radio telemetry. Barbastelle bats shall be caught with nets and provided with a small transmitter. This will be attached to the dorsal fur where it usually remains for about 1-3 weeks. Due to the growth of the hair coat it will fall off after this time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column_c20938-ef > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_c20938-ef > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_c20938-ef > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_c20938-ef > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_c20938-ef > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_c20938-ef > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_c20938-ef{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_c20938-ef > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_c20938-ef > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column_c20938-ef\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"245\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tierschutzstiftung-boesche.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/mopsfledermaus-300x245-1.jpg?resize=300%2C245&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-278\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Portrait of a barbastelle bat (Barbastella barbastellus) (Image: C.

In the forest the range is usually drastically reduced to a few hundred meters. Radio telemetry is an established method in order to find unknown roosts and\/or to get information about the hunting grounds of bats. The pursuit of the animals (which can reach flying speeds of 20-30 km\/h or even more) at night and on narrow forest roads with the car is a hard but also exciting effort. As day roosts the barbastelle bat prefers narrow gaps, eg. behind shutters and similar structures on buildings. In forests it often can be found behind pieces of bark.<\/p>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id_00b336-dd > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id_00b336-dd > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id_00b336-dd > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr) minmax(0, 2fr);}.kb-row-layout-id_00b336-dd > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id_00b336-dd > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr) minmax(0, 2fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id_00b336-dd > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id_00b336-dd alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-right-golden kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column_8a0eab-fd > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_8a0eab-fd > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_8a0eab-fd > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_8a0eab-fd > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_8a0eab-fd > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_8a0eab-fd > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_8a0eab-fd{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_8a0eab-fd > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_8a0eab-fd > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column_8a0eab-fd\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"198\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tierschutzstiftung-boesche.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/baumstamm-198x300-1.jpg?resize=198%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-281\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In forests bats often can be found behind pieces of bark (Bild: E.
