Default Animal Poo? Identification

Hi all

Anyone suggest the likely culprit for:

Animal poo approx 10mm diameter - 3 pcs - 1 @ 25mm long and 2 @ 10mm
long - in cluster on lawn.
Similar to cat but - no smell, dry and like charcoal in appearance.
Close examination showed what looked like lots of "beetle-shell-bits"
embedded, which created the charcoal appearance.


Definitely hedgehog. I had them on my lawn recently and traced the bits
around the garden only to find a large hedgehog had fallen into a sort of
gully at the back of my garden and had to be helped out. (the gully is 2
feet wide x 20 feet long x 3 feet deep). If they were all clustered in one
place under a turret or gargoyle I would have said owl.
