AbstractKitowski I., Stasiak K. The disappearance of barn owl Tyto alba and little owl Athene noctua occurrence sites in farmland in East Poland. Ekologia (Bratislava), Vol. 32, No. 4, p. 361-368, 2013.Complexes of buildings belonging to vast farms, distributed in the form of islands over a landscape of monoculture farming constituted important occurrence sites of the barn owl and the little owl. During 1999-2012, the fate of 59 farms inhabited by the studied species was observed. Both species of owls preferred using three categories of buildings: cowsheds, warehouses and blocks of flats. Cases have been reported of the same building being simultaneously occupied by two species of owls. The study showed that the disappearance of sites of the studied owls is caused by factors connected with the decreasing intensity of farming. The most common of these factors turned out to be demolitions of buildings occupied by owls and the abandonment of animal production. Cases of predation by carnivore mammals were also reported. The process of disappearance of owl sites appears to manifest itself more intensely on those farms where residential and industrial infrastructure occupies a smaller area.

This study was primarily focused on determining the availability of feeding niche of the little owl in University Campus. For this purpose, observations were made consecutively on the location of important sites in University Student’s Farm. This Farm is characterized by different types of tree species. Some of the important ones comprise Salmalia malabarica, Dalbergia sissoo, Cedrella toona, Terminalia arjuna and few others. The little owl mainly feeds on small insects and occasionally on very small mammals and perhaps on the small chicks. Small insects made the major portion of the diet of Athene noctua.

Abstract Between 29 Mar and 10 Apr, 2015, a Little Owl Athene noctua survey was carried out using the playback method in the southern part of Montenegro. The study area was situated between the town of Ulcinj and the Bojana River delta. A total of 55 calling males were registered at 26 survey points with a maximum of 4 calling males per survey point. Considering the low response rate of the Little Owl, its local population was estimated at be 55–110 calling males. This study presents the first systematic survey of the Little Owl in Montenegro.

Abstract Between 1995 and 2017 we carried out surveys on the Little Owl (Athene noctua) in Battonya town and Kevermes village in southern Békés county. In 2007 and 2017 we have surveyed nesting sites in the village and the outer areas of Kevermes. The population of the species was estimated at the beginning of the breeding season and in early summer with field observations. Between 1995 and 2017 we collected road-kill data within the entire administrative area of Battonya. We registered each fiund road-killed Little Owl. We found 64 road-kills in Battonya. The number of casualties of the species has increased unambiguously over the studied 23 years. Most of the road-killed Little Owls (53 individuals, 82.81% of the total) were found in summer (June–August). 51 road-killed individuals (79.69%) were noted in the outer areas of Battonya, and 13 specimens (20.31%) in the town. Our results highlight that vehicle traffic is an important mortality factor for the population. The Little Owl has a large population in this landscape, and the population size has increased over the last decade. In the background of this increase is most likely the rise in the number of abandoned houses because of the unfavourable economic and social situation in the region. The local pairs nested only on attics and roof structures in Kevermes, often in residential buildings. The buildings of modern agriculture do not meet the needs of the species. A large part of the population breeds in the village, because with the disappearance of the farms the breeding pairs of the outer areas of Kevermes have disappeared. However, in Battonya the species regularly breeds in the outer areas of the town. Finally, we also collected some ethnoecological data on how local people relate to the species.
