Abstract

The nightly and seasonal activity patterns of a large colony of bats roosting in a country church are described. In summer 400-700 bats from two species southern freetail bat (Mormopterus sp. 4) and chocolate wattled bat (Chalinolobus morio)-left the roost beginning around civil twilight. Bats emerged at a rate of up to 40-50min^-1, and took 30min or longer to clear the roost.
