This was the first record of a Nathusius’ pipistrelle flying across the North Sea from the UK to mainland Europe. Dans ce contexte, l’association fédérale pour le travail sur les chauves-souris en Allemagne (Bundesverband für Fledermauskunde Deutschland e.V.)

Not all ship-borne arrivals of Nathusius’ Pipistrelle may have joined ship in continental ports. The tiny Nathusius' pipistrelle bat was first ringed in Blagdon, near Bristol, and was discovered nearly 600km away in the Netherlands.

2.4 Knowledge of European bat migration is largely based on recoveries of ringed (or ‘banded’) For further details see the factsheet of BatLife Europe Sander Lagerveld reported a Nathusius’ Pipistrelle alighting on a boat in the North Sea 100 km north of Den Helder, Netherlands in … The NNPP was launched to improve our understanding of this elusive species by finding out more about it’s migratory routes and resident & breeding status of this bat in the UK. Nathusius’ pipistrelle is a priority species under theEUROBATSAgreement and we welcome more research into its distribution in the UK. In each locality, 18 bat boxes of both models were observed. It is often found at large waterbodies, particularly during its autumn migration period. Because Nathusius’ pipistrelle is a migratory species, wind turbines have the potential to impact upon bat populations at a range of geographical scales.

The Nathusius' pipistrelle undertakes a seasonal long-distance migration, usually from northeast to southwest Europe, along the coast or river valleys. Nathusius’ pipistrelle was first recorded in Nottinghamshire in September 2006 on a bat detector during an NBG bat walk at Attenborough Nature Reserve. The groups of three boxes were erected on separate trees. Due to its migratory habits Nathusius’ populations may be especially vulnerable to badly sited wind turbines. Recently, it has been suggested that some Nathusius' pipistrelle populations may remain resident in the U.K. throughout the years (Russ et … Some may have joined mid-crossing as migratory birds sometimes do. Populations in Russia are thought to … This site has been developed by Jon Russ. In 2008, the use of bat boxes of two models (standard and flat) by Nathusius' pipistrelle (Pipistrellus Nathusii) bats was investigated in eight protected territories in southeastern Lithuania. Nathusius pipistrelle bat migration. In 2013, a single bat ringed in the UK was found 600 km away in the Netherlands. Migration patterns of Nathusius [ pipistrelle are relatively well known in mainland Europe but the movements of these bats in and out of the UK, and their migration routes and origins, are not known.

On 8 and 9 November 2019, the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS) and the Bats Working Group of Natuurpunt Study organize a two-day symposium on bats migration. Nathusius' pipistrelles were originally thought to be vagrants in the U.K. but are now known to be seasonal migrants. A small breeding British population is resident all year, probably topped-up by winter migrants from the Continent. Nathusius’ Pipistrelle distribution and migration The tiny Nathusius’ Pipistrelle, weighing only 6–10 grams, travels almost 2000 km from its breeding grounds in north-eastern Europe to its main hibernation areas in south-west Europe. Migration patterns of Nathusius’ pipistrelle are relatively well known in mainland Europe but the movements of bats in and out of the UK and their migration routes and origins are not known. Nyctalus leisleri, Nathusius’ pipistrelle and the parti-coloured bat Vespertilio murinus4 (Hutterer et al., 2006), with typical migration distances in both spring and autumn thought to be 250 km to 1,000 km.

The mean average distances for male and female migratory Nathusius’ pipistrelles is between 1100 km and 1400 km.
