A single Eastern Grass Owl Tyto longimembris was observed in Bundjalung National Park, New South Wales, in September 2019. Pellets ( n = 17) collected from its roost contained the remains of House Mouse Mus musculus , Grassland Melomys Melomys burtoni , Black Rat Rattus rattus , Swamp Rat R. lutreolus , Fawn-footed Melomys Melomys cervinipes , Common Planigale Planigale maculata , Eastern Blossom Bat Syconycteris australis and honeyeater Phylidonyris sp. The most interesting findings were the Eastern Blossom Bat (the first published record of a bat in the diet of an Eastern Grass Owl in Australia) and that one of the Grassland Melomys specimens had pink bones. |
