The Parti-coloured bats of the male colony

A few years ago P. Gombkötő discovered the first Hungarian colony of Parti-coloured bats. In the summer of 2006 we visited the colony. It was not observed till then whether is it a male colony -which is not rare in the case of this species- or a female colony. We conducted a mist-netting near the roost and noted this is a male colony.

In 2006 a nursing colony was discovered in the Zempléni Mountains.
