Hi it's a long eared bat, there are 2 species locally but unfortunately I can't see enough detail to tell you which of the 2 it is. They are stealth moth hunting specialists and use their big ears to catch moths without the moths hearing them come.

Cool, thanks. It roosts above our door daily, so I can try to get better photos.

Ok great, if you can get a few clear shots of the face, the main bit is the nose that is useful to distinguish the two.
