Abstract:

The study was carried out in Gorzekały, situated ca. 10 km east of Lake Śniardwy in the Masurian Lake District (NE Poland). Pellets of Strix aluco were collected in an abandoned church three times in 2020. Analyses revealed the presence of 141 small mammals belonging to 13 species. The most abundant were: Clethrionomys glareolus, Microtus agrestis and Apodemus flavicollis. Soricomorpha species were relatively rarely (7%) captured by owls. From among bats, two common species (Eptesicus serotinus, Nyctalus noctula) were found. The most valuable rodent species was Sicista betulina, which occurred fairly frequently in the food of S. aluco from Gorzekały.
