Sam's Owl Vomit exhibition

 

My friend Sam is very wildlife driven. He recently attented an owl pellet (vomit) disection course in Shrewsbury - for fun apparently - where he learnt how to disect pellets and use them to identify bones, skulls etc of whatever poor mouse, vole or shrew the owl ate. He also films and edits his own wildlife documentaries, as well as spending most of his life either studying or watching trail camera footage. 

He then brought this knowledge to our college where he offered a free dissection seminar for the Biology society. None of our friends were a part of the society, but we went along anyway to support him and it was actually pretty interesting and dare I say fun.

Here is myself, Lachie and Andy working together to dissect one bit of pellet in which we identified Water Vole remains. Probably one of the stranger lunchtimes spent at BHASVIC.
