Forest chiropterans have in general, been little studied until the appearance of ultrasound detectors and vocalization recognition and identification programs, which has facilitated their detectability and study.In addition, at the peninsular level, the data and records of these bats are relatively scarce.With this note we expand the range of distribution of the Noctules bats in the Iberian Peninsula and the information on incidents in wind turbines.The presence in the province of Soria of Nyctalus leisleri and Nyctalus noctula is at the moment anecdotal, while for the Nyctalus lasiopterus it is somewhat more frequent.Recently it has been described the presence of an agrupation of Nyctalus noctula in Almazán (Soria), has been described with sightings since 2016, as well as a Nyctalus leisleri and Nyctalus lasiopterus in the area known as Pinar Grande to the northwest of Soria.In this work we provide new citations from accident studies in wind farms in the province obtained from the database of the Junta de Castilla y León, where the presence of these species is verified between 2005 and 2019, as well as other citations collected in the last years through sampling using networks and ultrasound detectors.The specimens of Nyctalus noctula found during the studies in wind farms in the south of the province that could be sexed (26% of the total losses) were all males, probably males in the mating phase from the La Arboleda de Almazán park.In the case of the Nyctalus lasiopterus, the citations were scattered throughout the province, but recurring in recent years.In contrast, small nodule appointments were especially rare in wind turbines.
