Distribution map of the birdlike noctule

The birdlike noctule (Nyctalus aviator) is a species of bat. An adult birdlike noctule has a body length of 7.1-9.5 cm, a tail of 5.5-6.4 cm, and a wing length of 5.8-5.95 cm. It nests in the holes in old trees and buildings, and sometimes in mineshafts. It is distributed across Northeast Asia, from northeast China and Siberia through the Korean Peninsula to Japan.

Along with the Greater Noctule and Asian Evening Bat, this is one of three bat species to prey on small, nocturnally-migrating birds, pursuing them in open air.[1]
