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?
A bit long, but otherwise sounds about right.
4 " droppings would be some giant of a hedgehog; I've never seen them
do droppings larger than an inch! Sounds more like fox to me; especially
if the tapered point turns up.
