Abstract
Over 90% of the prey of the Short-eared Owl in Britain and Ireland comprises small mammals, particularly the Short-tailed Vole. Birds, Wood Mice and Brown Rats are of secondary importance and, with Pygmy Shrews, may be the staple foods on islands lacking voles.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
