Poo Experts Please

Are you sure it isn't a fox (it would stink)? When young foxes start leaving droppings they often leave them on top of walls, plant pots etc, and they do look just like that.

That was my thought, it also depends on what the fox has been scavenging as well.

From a wildlife poo site---

Badger

• Faeces can be very variable – soft and even runny when they have been eating worms, or solid and firm, like a large, fat sausage, when eating wheat or fruit.
• Where badgers are common, these are generally deposited in shallow pits, but are more generally just left on the surface. Easily recognised by sweet, musky smell.

Fox

• Vary depending on what the fox has eaten. Like a small dog dropping, especially in urban areas where they eat a lot of meat, bread and bird seeds.
• Frequently twisted at one end, especially in rural areas where foxes eat more birds and mammals.
• When fresh, best distinguished by a very characteristic ‘foxy’ smell.

A bird crapped on my windscreen last night.
That's the last time I take her out.....
