Weight 160 sheep dropping from scarful meadow = 20.5-1.3
20.5-1.3 = 19.2 g = 0.320g/pellet
The above collection with NVG and dim red headlamp
between 7:30-10:40 ad 3:30-4:55 a.m., Cloudy,
cold calm, below freezing. Heard no owls. Saw
no other species. 21 traps baited with grass, grass
and eastern dodobian caught 1 Roethru,
nothing else, although a couple of cage traps were
springing easily.
Into 2 receptacles of R marked in November.
Collected samples of turf, one from 3.6 hour,
mostly grass, and 1 from Scarful's with
much "desiccated rose" = filares x
4.820 mm of broad-leafed fresh backyard grass
stems weigh 3.2 g. To eat 70 g of them at 10cm in
20 seconds would require 5.86 hours (106 meters of
broad-leafed grass stems up to 9mm wide). A measurement
and recalculation of same data gives 5.72 hrs.
Dissenting out all green vegetation (90% Holcus
laratae, 5% white clover, 5% other narrow-leafed
groes) from a 36,075 mm² (= .0361 m²) sample
