I'm afraid I don't have a photo but can anyone confirm the likely identity
of the layer of these droppings.
They're jet black, about 4" long and around as thick as my little-finger
(1.5cm), straight and tapering to a point at one end.
Not obvious remains of seeds or insects in them that I could make out.
They
only seem to appear overnight.
I'm assuming it's a hedgehog, am I right?
(Apologies for the mixed units)
Tim.
Yea probably hedgehog, they are black due to the number of beetles they eat,
which in turn of course would have eaten slugs, slugs eggs, young snails and
I have to find the remains of a slug in hedgehog poo, or actually see a
hedgehog eating slugs !!!
