Summary/Abstract: In mid-September of 2018, on three occasions, a total of 29 individuals of Kuhl’s pipistrelle, Pipistrellus kuhlii (Kuhl, 1817) were caught in the building of the Faculty of civil engineering in Belgrade, 24 of which were ringed with unique-numbered wing markers. All the males, including subadults born in that year, were reproductively active at the time. P. kuhlii is a species exceptionally well adapted to synanthropic life in urban areas, with increasing population numbers and with distribution in Europe extending northwards. This species has almost entirely out-competed P. pipistrellus in cities, and nowadays is one of the dominantly present synanthropic bat species.
