Cold/Warm Case

[JonathanD]

Been a while since I did a tracking cold case, so here is a new one. As usual, what species left this?

 

[ex-member Raikey]

Looks a bit Kestrely to me JD,...

edit,....buzzardy too , just noticed the scale,..

 

[resnikov]

Stab in the dark, some kind of owl?

 

[spiritwalker]

tawny owl pellet? but would be better if you had a second shot with it broken up cause some of the bones almost look fishlike?

 

[mountainm]

I'd go for an owl pellet too..

 

[Robbi]

owl for me as well

( vague thoughts of otter ? )

 

[JonathanD]

No one has it yet. You have to state the exact species. just calling 'owl' isn't gonna cut it

 

[Robbi]

big owl with constipation and a sore bum ?

( i know, i know...pellets don't come out of bums ! )

Teat Owl? They're very rare - hang around in kitchens

 

[JonathanD]

[resnikov]

[JonathanD]

You asked for it and you deserve it...

 

[Shewie]

Little Owl ?

 

[spiritwalker]

i found one of these the outher day at first i thought it was a dead mouse ,so when i got home i looked it up and found out that it was a owl or anouther bird of preys feces ,inless you saw the bird stool i think it would be hard to pin point what owl or even whatouther bird of prey that done it ,il have a quess at a tawny?

Owl pellets aren't faeces, they are the regurgitated undigested fur and bones. Owls eat their prey whole most of the time, so it is well worth dissecting them to see what species they have eaten. They are pretty distinctive from each other, as other bird pellets are, and you can easily tell the species from prey items in the pellet.

Still, no one has this correct. I may get a picture of the insides to shine more light on it.

Short Eared Owl?

 

[_scorpio_]
