La Noctule commune (Nyctalus noctula Schreber, 1774) est une espèce de chauve-souris de grande taille aux oreilles larges et arrondies aux extrémités. Les ailes sont longues et étroites lui donnant un vol rapide (50 km/h) à 10-40 m de haut. À la fin de l’été, les populations continentales migrent vers le sud et le sud-ouest de l’Europe (Allemagne de l'Ouest, Suisse, France). La distance maximale observée de migration est de 900 km. C'est une espèce sociable qui forme de grandes colonies. Son activité est crépusculaire et nocturne mais peut être diurne en automne. Elle hiberne dans des arbres creux, des fissures de falaises ou de murs mais très rarement dans des grottes.
