Abstract:

The species composition of a small mammal community of Mława Upland (middle-northern Poland) was studied using the analysis of pellets of the barn owl Tyto alba and long-eared owl Asio otus. Total of 1748 individuals of small mammals were identified from 77 pellets of Tyto alba collected near Kuczbork, and from 452 pellets of Asio otus pellets collected near Kobuszyn in the years 2014-2016. Rodentia were represented by 7 species and made up the main part of the owls’ diet. Among four Soricomorpha species, Sorex araneus was the most frequent one. The predominant prey was Microtus arvalis, accounting for 60% of Tyto alba diet, and nearly 90% of Asio otus diet. Species of small mammals recorded in Mława Upland are widely distributed in central Poland and are mostly associated with agricultural land and mosaic landscapes.
