The food of suburban Tawny Owls on the background of birds and mammals occurring in the hunting territory

  • Zbigniew BOCHEŃSKI jun.

Abstract:

Tawny Owl pellets from the suburbs of Kraków have been analysed and the results have been compared with the relative abundance of small mammals and birds in the hunting territory. Seasonal variations in the diet are also discussed. It appeared that birds were of greater nutritional importance than mammals in that habitat. It is the most abundant species of birds and small mammals that were most frequently hunted by the owls.
