Nyctophilus geoffroyi
The lesser long eared bat falls into the category of a microbat, and more specifically, a vesper bat.
These bats are usually nocturnal, living in dark caves, hollows, old trees, ceilings and hollow walls, and therefore they use echolocation systems to hunt.

Cheers for Likes and for the Name Ava T-B! Ha Alice, Did you mean putting (Bat) in Parentheses like this in Title?
I agree with Karen and Alice -- lovely picture, and you could put Vesper bat as the common name and Nyctophilus geoffroyi in the species name line.
Putting Bat in parentheses might draw more attention to your good picture.
What a lovely clear photo - so nice to see a daytime shot!
