Resumen de Possible predation by Little Owl (Athene noctua) on nestling Red-billed Choughs (Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax)
José Luis Tella Escobedo, Guillermo Blanco Hervás
Seveny three nests of Red-billed Choughs Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax, located inside old farmhouses (mases], were monitored in 1992 in los Monegros (NE Spains). On one occasion, Red-billed Chough feathers with signs of raptor predation were found close to Little Owl Athene noctua feathers, and on another, the osseous remains of one nestling Red-billed Chough were found in a little Owl nest. This suggests that the Red-billed Chough may suffer some predation by Little Owls.
