Bats in cave, Romania
I photographed these in Pestera Liliecilor cave at 1000m altitude in the Piatra Craiului area of the Carpathians. I believe the browner individuals on the far left to be Schreiber's bat, and perhaps more/all of the others are of this species? But I'm a total novice on bats, so please help...
And also, is there any way of telling what species these smallish horseshoes belong to? I believe all three of the smaller species are found in the area. (Photos 3/4 show the same individual, I think) If any closer crops on individuals are wanted, please ask. Thanks,

Hi, first two pictures belong to Miniopterus scheribersi. All individuals, they are unmistakable since there is no other species of this group in Europe.
Last 3 pictures show probably Rhinolophus hipposideros. It could also be R. ferrumequinum. No other spesies of Rhinolophus occur in the area. Without knowing the size of your bats, it's impossible to tell them apart from those pictures. Since R. ferrumequinum (apart from being much larger) is more warm loving species, my guess would be R. hipposideros. Hope it helped Petr |
