Yes, they are protected and it is an offence to kill or injure them. Like the poster asking about bats, you don't say where you live, but in all cases where anyone thinks a protected animal or plant is under threat get in touch with the nearest office of the relevant country conservation agency. You'll find them in every phone book.
