Abstract
Summary Kok, O.B. 1993. Diet of the Spotted Dikkop Burhinus capensis. Ostrich 64:182-184. Analysis of 81 stomach samples of Spotted Dikkops Burhinus capensis collected in the central arts of South Africa over a period of eight years showed this species to be predominantly insectivorous. Coleoptera, followed by Isoptera (exclusively represented by the harvester termite Hodotermes mossambicus) made up the bull of the insect material. Coleoptera were the only prey items taken throughout the year, while Isoptera were mainly consumed during the winter months and early summer. The remainder of the animal matter in the diet was dominated by Diplopoda.
