A bat accidentally flew down the chimney of a little used flat here in our block, unfortunately it could not get out and died. I was given the task of disposing of the body so took the opportunity of taking its photo first. I have no idea which kind of Greek bat it is.
We have quite a few bats here which fly around in the night triggering our security light. I wonder if the bats are the reason we have hardly any mosquitoes in the summer, relatively speaking
