Lesser horseshoe bat  (Rhinolophus hipposideros)

When hunting, this species flies close to the ground, usually below 5 meters around bushes and shrubs (4) with fast, agile flight (4). They glean their prey from stones and branches; favourite prey items include flies, moths and spiders (2). The ultrasound calls tend to be around 110 kHz. This species mates in the autumn, and females give birth to one young between mid-June and the beginning of July (4) in mixed-sex maternity colonies (2). The young become independent at six-seven weeks of age (4). Hibernation occurs between September and May (4).
