I am planning gardens on a new rural property and part of that is to
identify predators, vermin and freeloaders that may need to be excluded.
At present the place is just pasture and it will not be possible for me
to sit up at night with a spotlight to check visually for some months.
The neighbours report foxes and rabbits. Other possibilites are feral
pigs, feral deer (such are not native to the area), wombats (most
unlikely), kangaroos and wallabies.

I have found herbivore scat that I want to identify. It is nearly black
(slightly greenish brown) oval shaped about 2cm (3/4") wide and a
little longer than that, some are discrete pellets and some more or less
joined in a column. Definitely not rabbits or foxes.

The most likely candidates are Eastern Grey Kangaroos which we have seen
in the forested areas of the district, however the nearest forest is
about 1 Km (1100 yards) away.

Can anbody confirm that these scats are Kangaroo?
