Owl pellet dissection


We are fairly sure that this is a pellet from a Tawny owl.
It is the regurgitated indigestible parts of the owls prey.


After a soaking in water and disinfectant for half an hour, the grizzly task can commence


First the big stuff


Then the smaller bones and dung beetle shells


Then examine and sort out the skeleton


Finally revealed, the remains of a wood mouse
