About the species Daubenton's bat
About the species
At dusk it flies just above the surface and hunts aquatic insects, mainly midges and mayflies.
Where to find it by the water
Slow rivers, ponds and lakes lined with trees. During the day it rests in tree hollows and under bridges.
What this means for anglers
When fast dark silhouettes flit near the surface in the evening, it is usually this one. The presence of bats means there are plenty of insects above the water, which are also food for fish. It is protected; do not disturb it.
