Survey of the small mammal fauna in north-western Somogy county (Hungary), based on Barn Owl Tyto alba (Scopoli, 1769) pellet analysis
Barn Owl pellets were collected in Somogy county between 1994 and 2012, from 30 localities (investigated area: XM65, XM77, XM76, XM75, XM87, XM86, XM85, XM97 and XM96 UTM grids). In a total of 3114 Barn Owl pellets there were 9693 prey remnants (the prey per pellet ratio was 3.1). Small mammals were...
