The impact of vegetation characteristics and prey availability on breeding habitat use and diet of Little Owls Athene noctua in Central European farmland

Original language description

Foraging habitats are determined by vegetation characteristics rather than the availability of insect prey. Based on number, insects were the most dominant prey, followed by small mammals; based on weight, insects comprised only a minor part of the diet.Among insect prey, Carabidae beetles were the most abundant. The proportion of insect numbers was strongly positively correlated with advancing day of the season and negatively correlated with the proportion of vertebrates. Although the highest densities of Carabidae were found in cornfields Little Owls significantly preferred grassland habitats, probably because of the lower vegetation cover.
