Various bat species were identified during the surveys on Giglio. The European bulldog bat, lesser horseshoe bat, alpine bat and white-edged bat were clearly identified using call acoustics. Further categorisations were made on the level of call groups, whereby calls of Nyctaloide, Myotis and Pipistrellus were identified. However, due to the similarity of the calls, a clear species identification was not possible. In addition, the Giant Evening Swift was recorded in 1939, whose calls belong to the nyctaloid group and were also recorded, but could not be clearly identified.

Further species can be expected through a higher number of recordings, a more detailed analysis and a more intensive search for roosts or the use of nets on the island.
