Re: Little Surprise Visitor
SO I investigated further and found an owl pellet under the nestbox. Here are the results.
There was lots of grey vole fur and a complete upper skull with eye sockets and I found both sides of the lower mandible with teeth. I am excited DH not so much. Hope the little guy stays and doesn't get evicted by starlings.

Oh no this is fascinating. Apparently the breakfast table isn't the spot for this, confused now!

Re: Little Surprise Visitor
I think it's fascinating too, just not sure I would be willing to "poke the package" :)

@Killerbunny I have never seen this in real life but I'm with you. I don't gut I dissect. It's fascinating!

Re: Little Surprise Visitor
I did at one point in my career spend far too much time looking for parasites in hare droppings. I think I have an abstract of the paper if anyone is interested........
BTW owl pellets aren't unpleasant they are just regurgitated undigested parts. Now I come to think of it that doesn't sound so good.
