Abstract

Barn owl pellets were collected in Somogy county in 2011, between Sümeg and Zalaszentgrót (investigated area: XN60 quadrate of 10 × 10 km UTM grid). From a total of 290 whole pellets and their fragments, 1400 prey remnants were identified. The analysis of pellets showed that the prey of barn owl in the study area consisted of mammals (98.8%), birds (0.6%), beetles (0.4%) and amphibians (0.2%). Mammal prey consisted of Soricidae 46.9% (Crocidura leucodon, C. suaveolens, Sorex araneus, S. minutus, Neomys anomalus, Neomys fodiens) Vespertilionidae 0.2% (Plecotus austriacus), Gliridae 0.3% (Muscardinus avellanarius), Cricetidae 29% (Microtus agrestis, M. arvalis, M. subterraneus, Arvicola amphibius, Myodes glareolus) and Muridae 23.6% (Apodemus agrarius, A. flavicollis, A. sylvaticus, Micromys minutus, Mus musculus, Rattus norvegicus). The occurrence of 18 small mammal species had been known in the investigated area before our survey. This study did not confirm the occurrence of common mole (Talpa europaea) and Weasel (Mustella nivalis), although common dormouse (Muscardinus avellanarius), wood mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus) and brown rat (Rattus norvegicus) were detected. According to our knowledge 21 small mammal species live in the study area.
