Today, we have been using our science skills to carefully dissect and investigate the contents of owl pellets. Mrs Channing kindly collected some barn owl pellets and sterilised them for us. We watched videos of owls regurgitating their pellets. As we examined them, in amongst all the fur, we discovered all sorts of bones, including skulls, ribs, femurs and teeth, even tiny vertebrae. We used identification charts to see what type of rodents there were. We think we found voles, rats and mice! We washed our hands thoroughly before lunch!
