Hi Duncan

Yes, exactly right. Although I have heard that lesses can also be used to describe bear or wolf droppings.

We don't have any bears or wolves in our wood but we have plenty of wild boar and their droppings are very distinctive. I shall be collecting them for my nettle patch.

I would love to be part of a program to re-introduce wolves to East Sussex but fear the neighbors might complain.

Thanks for all the comments
Colin
