• Resumen

  • The remains of prey were examined ot two Egyptian Vulture nests in Minorca, Balearic Islands, and 132 items were identified. The Rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus was the main prey (51.5 %). There were some dietary differences between the two pairs, which may be linked to their differing proximiy to rubbish dumps.
