The echolocation calls of the noctule bat Nyctalus noctula {Schreber, 1774) were recorded at night, from June to August 1991, using a QMC S20Q bat detector, in 5 habitats (river, forest-meadow eeotone, village, coniferous forest, deciduous forest) of the Białowieża Primeval Forest (eastern Poland). Two main kinds of signals were identified: search calls and feeding buzzes. Acoustic activity was high over the rivers, in the forest-meadow eeotone and in small woodland villages. It was negligible inside the coniferous and deciduous forests. The differences among habiLats were especially evident in the case of feeding buzzes; no feeding was recorded inside deep deciduous forests. Two peaks in overnight activity were found, with maxima after sunset and before sunrise. Intraseasonal changes of activity were recorded; the highest activity was in July.
