Title: Small mammals of the Góra Świętej Anny Landscape Park (south-western Poland) in the diet of two owl species

Abstract:

The knowledge about small mammals of the Góra Świętej Anny Landscape Park is lacking. Here I provide data about diversity of small mammals identified from the pellets of the two owl species: the tawny owl Strix aluco and the barn owl Tyto alba. Pellets derived from 1999–2024. The material was collected at two breeding sites of the barn owl and at 5 sites of regular occurrence of tawny owl. In total, 1549 prey items have been identified: 1433 prey consumed by the barn owl, and 116 prey consumed by the tawny owl. 18 mammal species were identified: 5 species of Soricomorpha, 1 Chiroptera and 12 Rodentia. Rodents were the most important prey group for both owl species. Depending on owl species, the most numerous prey species were Microtus arvalis and Mus musculus for the barn owl, and Apodemus flavicollis together with Clethrionomys glareolus for the tawny owl. The results are the first detail data about diversity of small mammals in the the Góra Świętej Anny Landscape Park and one of the few in whole Opole Voivodeship.
