The analysis of the composition of the Tawny Owl pellets collected at a study site (Stary Chinów, 51o37’N, 21o28’E) in the northern part of the Kozienice Forest in 2019-2021 documented 18 species of small mammals. They represented three orders: Soricomorpha (4), Chiroptera (3), and Rodentia (11). The community of small mammals in the study area was relatively rich. The most frequently noted species were: Sorex araneus, Clethrionomys glareolus, Microtus agrestis and Apodemus flavicollis. The populations of rodents of the family Gliridae (Muscardinus avellanarius, Glis glis) and Microtus agrestis living on the study site are relatively abundant as compared to other areas of central Poland.
