A single Greater mouse-eared bat (Myotis myotis), a young male, was found hibernating at Dover in 1985.

In September 2004 a male Pond bat (Myotis dasycneme) was found grounded in Ramsgate. It subsequently died. It was presumed to be a vagrant from the near continent.

Three Kuhl’s pipistrelle bats (Pipistrellus kuhlii) , a male and two females, have been found grounded in recent years, two along the Channel coast and one along the Thames Estuary. It is thought this represents population expansion from the Near Continent due to climate change. It is likely this species will be found breeding in one of the south Kent coastal towns in the next few years.

Greater horseshoe (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum) was recorded in four development sites around Dover in 2019. Sonogram records were confirmed by KBG. The last record was from a static detector placed at a suitable foraging site in Elmsvale in 2020. These records probably represent expansion of this species in the UK and these records are likely to be of pioneering males. The nearest known maternity population is close to Boulogne, France.

Since winter 2020 a single Lesser horseshoe (Rhinolophus hipposideros) has been recorded hibernating in Dover each year.
