Owl Pellet Dissection
RSPB Rye Meads
Mon 17th February 2025
1.30pm - 4.15pm
Did you know that Barn Owls can't digest the fur and bones of the rodents they eat, which they usually swallow whole?
So what happens to them if they aren't digested? The Owl has to regurgitate it in the form of an Owl pellet. You often find Owl pellets at roosting or nesting sites and they are usually the size of a mans thumb and are black when fresh (turning grey as they get older), and an Owl can produce 1-2 pellets after a night's hunting. Owl pellets can be a really good way of finding out what an Owl has been eating by dissecting them and analysing what bones are in them.

Or will... Read more

Owl Pellet Dissection
RSPB Rye Meads
Tue 18th February 2025
9.30am - 1.15pm
Did you know that Barn Owls can't digest the fur and bones of the rodents they eat, which they usually swallow whole?
So what happens to them if they aren't digested? The Owl has to regurgitate it in the form of an Owl pellet. You often find Owl pellets at roosting or nesting sites and they are usually the size of a mans thumb and are black when fresh (turning grey as they get older), and an Owl can produce 1-2 pellets after a night's hunting. Owl pellets can be a really good way of finding out what an Owl has been eating by dissecting them and analysing what bones are in them.

Or will... Read more

Owl Pellet Dissection
RSPB Rye Meads
Thu 20th February 2025
1.30pm - 4.15pm
Did you know that Barn Owls can't digest the fur and bones of the rodents they eat, which they usually swallow whole?
So what happens to them if they aren't digested? The Owl has to regurgitate it in the form of an Owl pellet. You often find Owl pellets at roosting or nesting sites and they are usually the size of a mans thumb and are black when fresh (turning grey as they get older), and an Owl can produce 1-2 pellets after a night's hunting.

Or will... Read more

RSPB Rye Meads
Sun 23rd February 2025
9.30am - 1.15pm
Did you know that Barn Owls can't digest the fur and bones of the rodents they eat, which they usually swallow whole?
So what happens to them if they aren't digested? The Owl has to regurgitate it in the form of an Owl pellet. You often find Owl pellets at roosting or nesting sites and they are usually the size of a mans thumb and are black when fresh (turning grey as they get older), and an Owl can produce 1-2 pellets after a night's hunting.

Or will... Read more
