Artikelname: The Analysis of Owl Pellets
Artikelbeschreibung: Owls feed mainly on small mammals, swallowing their prey whole. The indigestible parts are regurgitated by the owl in the form of compact pellets which contain mammal skulls, bones and teeth, and invertebrate remains. Analysis of these pellets can be used to learn not only what the owl has eaten, but which small mammal species are present in the locality. Owl pellets are particularly useful for detecting the presence of less common species such as water shrew, dormouse and harvest mouse. This book describes how to dissect pellets, identification of skulls and other bones, estimating size and weight of prey, and gives examples of pellet analyses showing what can be learned from them.

A superb introductory guide to this fascinating aspect of mammal study.

Taking a species-by-species approach, the accounts give some background detail on the range, population and habits of the species, before providing a list of sites where that species can be seen. As broad a geographic spread as possible is given to maximise the chances of the reader finding a site local to them. The sites are mapped where appropriate, and the text is enlivened by a number of attractive line drawings. Introductory chapters cover general topics such as field-craft, equipment, and relevant legislation and good practice. This is an invaluable guide for anyone who wants to watch wild mammals in Britain and Ireland.
