The smallest bat and more frequent in the UK is Pipistrelle and seams that these bats are the smallest European bats. They dark red / brown fur on the back and yellow / brown undersides. The ears, nose and wing membranes are black / brown. They occupy a variety of habitats, including open woodlands, parks, marshes, farmland and urban areas. Pipistrelle leave their shelters to feed relatively early – sometimes before sunset. They hunt small moths, gnats and other small insects, often returning to their roost after a couple of hours, but may emerge for another feed during night. A pipistrelle may consume up to 3,000 insects a night. In the summer tend to rest in buildings, bat boxes and trees. In the winter also the use of trees and buildings as well as the large churches and cellars. It hibernation from mid November to early April. They are quick, agile fliers, flying about 5-10m high. Although not threatened and Pipistrelle bats are the most common in the UK, numbers have fallen over the last decade. They were not on the IUCN list of threatened species.
It has been found living in homes, in Westminster, and now in South Wales in the construction Oak House in Monmouth. The last habitat of the bats was found when BT engineers went to inspect the Oak House building in front of some work modernization.
Although these bats are not listed in the IUCN list of threatened species are protected and BT Group plc, a holding company integrated group of companies providing voice and data services in the UK is trying to help them contact the Countryside Council for Wales. The Countryside Council for Wales, following the commitments made at the Earth Summit in Rio in 1992, has produced a number of biodiversity action plans in some of the UK protected and endangered plants and animals and the habitats on which they depend. These plans are being converted into action locally and nationally. As Erica Colkett, species officer for the Countryside Council for Wales, decided that "this is a pretty big colony – much bigger than you would find in the average roost site and very important for the area and therefore it is important that its habitat and roost sites are protected, "BT Group is seeking a solution to ensure the protection species is not altered. It was decided to construct a new access hole in the building of bats to use. Jack Foxall, of BT Property said "are doing work to separate the old listed Oak housing in Priory Street with a new extension in the rear. The link between this and the old building in front is where bats are perched behind the wall lining. We are happy to share our accommodation with the bats and whether we will access hole. What matters is that we do this work without causing unnecessary discomfort. "
