This is a brown long-eared bat pup (Plecotus auritus). When fully grown, they use those large ears to the locate insects it feeds on. They are found throughout Europe and will sometimes roost in human structures, such as bridges and buildings.2yr ⋅ alizarik_thegoblin ⋅ r/batty
The Pallid Bat mostly eats ground dwelling arthropods, such as desert scorpions and centipedes, rather than catching insects in the air. But pallid bats have also been found visiting cactus flowers and are effective pollinators!1yr ⋅ peejay5440 ⋅ r/batty
