%X Other than events caused by wind turbines, the accidental mortality of European free-tailed bats in Spain has never been reported in the literature. The discovery on five occasions of European free-tailed bats trapped in boxes on a small balcony in the city of Valencia is described here. In two cases, high mortality was recorded. The findings follow a similar pattern: all involve a large number of bats of both sexes, which are found dead in a box with an open top, always in the month of October. Given the number of cases found over the years in a small area and the number of specimens involved, these mortality events could become a determining factor for some colonies.
