Abstract In 2018 and 2019, the Narta Lagoon Protected Area, the Llogara National Park and the Gjipe area (Vlora county, South-West Albania) were surveyed to collect additional information regarding present bat fauna. A total of 12 bat species were recorded: Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, R. hipposideros, R. blasii, R. euryale, Myotis oxygnathus/ myotis, M. emarginatus, Pipistrellus kuhlii/nathusii, P. pipistrellus, Eptesicus serotinus, Hypsugo savii, Miniopterus schreibersii, Tadarida teniotis. E. serotinus was recorded for the first time in the entire Vlora region, while five new species were recorded within the boundaries of the Narta protected area, as well as the biggest colony of R. ferrumequinum registered so far in Albania. In the Gjipe area, the biggest colony of R. blasii of the entire South-West Balkans was confirmed, whileR. ferrumequinum was recorded for the first time in the Llogara National Park. Key words: Chiroptera, Vlora, Narta Protected Area, Llogara National Park 4 Hypsugo, IV, 2, 2019 IZVORNI ČLANAK | ORIGINAL ARTICLE Sažetak 2018. i 2019. godine zaštićeno područje Narta, Nacionalni park Llogara i područje Gjipe (okrug Vlora, jugozapad Albanije) istraženi su radi prikupljanja dodatnih in- formacija o fauni slijepih miševa. Ukupno je zabilježeno 12 vrsta slijepih miševa: Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, R. hipposideros, R. blasii, R. euryale, Myotis oxygnathus/ myotis, M. emarginatus, Pipistrellus kuhlii/nathusii, P. pipistrellus, Eptesicus serotinus, Hypsugo savii, Miniopterus schreibersii, Tadarida teniotis. Vrsta E. serotinus je po prvi put zabilježena za čitavo područje Vlore. U granicama zaštićenog područja Natra za- bilježeno je pet novih vrsta, kao i najveća kolonija vrste R. ferrumequinum do sada registrovana u Albaniji. Na području Gjipe, potvrđena je najveća kolonija vrste R. blasii na jugozapadnom Balkanu, dok je vrsta R. ferrumequinum prvi put zabilježena na po- dručju Nacionalnog parka Llogara. Ključne riječi: Chiroptera, Vlora, zaštićeno područje Narta, nacionalni park Llogara Introduction Located on the Adriatic and Ionian seas shores, in the western part of the country, the Vlora county hosts a mosaic of different habitats such as wetlands, high moun- tains (up to 2044 m a.s.l.), olive tree plantations, fir forests and coastal areas. This area was for the first time surveyed for bats between 2012 and 2016 (Théou & Loçe 2017) with at least 16 species recorded in former military tunnels and bunkers, caves or buildings as roosts. The present article provides additional information regarding the distribution of bat species in the area and new data on known roosts. Materials and methods In the period from June 2018 to August 2019, three field work sessions were conduct- ed in the area (Narta Protected Landscape Area, the Llogara National Park and the Gjipe area), with a total of 32 sites surveyed: 15 bunkers, 7 tunnels, 2 caves, 1 bridge, 1 building and 6 potential foraging areas. In addition, one more bunker was visited by protected area rangers during the summer 2018 at the end of the Karaburun peninsula, Karaburun Natural Park (Lakoj, pers. data). When large bat clusters were encountered during roost surveys, a photo was taken based on which the number of individuals was counted. This method induced minimal disturbance of the colonies. In addition, a hand held bat detector (Pettersson D1000x) was used to record bat Hypsugo, IV, 2, 2019 5 IZVORNI ČLANAK | ORIGINAL ARTICLE echolocation calls. Species identification was conducted using BatSound 4.11 follow- ing Russo & Jones (2002), Papadatou et al. (2008) and Barataud (2014). Results and discussion Once again, our results confirmed the importance of the Vlora region for the con- servation of the bat populations in Albania and in the region itself, in term of both number of species and number of specimens. Out of the 33 sites visited, 18 were occupied by bats (Table 1, Figure 1) and at least 12 bat species were recorded (Table 2): Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, R. hipposideros, R. blasii, R. euryale, Myotis oxygnathus/ myotis, M. emarginatus, Pipistrellus kuhlii/nathusii, P. pipistrellus, Eptesicus serotinus, Hypsugo savii, Miniopterus schreibersii, Tadarida teniotis. Narta Lagoon Protected Area Our study has especially shed new light on the Narta Lagoon Protected Area. Con- sidering the previous bat records available for this area (Théou & Loçe 2017) and Table 1.
