Abstract

Pellets, regurgitated by the Pallid Scops Owl (Otus brucei), were collected from Şanlıurfa-Birecik in southeastern Anatolia. In 26 pellets analyses yielded remains of 31 individuals, representing two mammalian order (Soricomorpha: Crocidura suaveolens, and Rodentia: Microtus guentheri, Mus sp., Meriones tristrami, Cricetulus migratorius). The number of prey items per one pellet ranged from 1-3 individuals (Average 1.85 skull). Rodens constituted 87,1% of its diet, while Soricomorpha constituted 12.9%. The House Mouse Mus sp., and Cricetulus migratorius, were the most abundant prey items, representing 29.03% of the total number of recovered prey items.
