Discover what owls eat! A hands-on session for curious minds, and part of the Mammal Society’s 'Searching for Shrews' project!

Join The Lincolnshire Mammal Group for an Adult Only Owl Pellet Dissection Event!

Wait… What’s an Owl Pellet? Let’s clear this up - owl pellets are not poo! They’re the parts of an owl’s prey that it can’t digest, like bones, fur, and feathers, which are coughed up in a compact pellet. By dissecting them, you can find out exactly what the owl ate, sometimes even identifying tiny skulls and bones of mice, voles, and shrews!

What to Expect:

Hands-on dissection of real owl pellets

All materials and equipment provided

Identification guides

Insights into local small mammals

A chance to contribute to real science as part of the “Searching for Shrews” project run by The Mammal Society

Who Can Join?

Suitable for ages 18 and up

Booking required via Eventbrite only- sorry, no drop-ins!

Whether you're a budding biologist or just love nature, this is a unique opportunity to explore the secret lives of owls and contribute to real wildlife research.
