A couple of weeks ago I reported that badgers had eaten my sweetcorn.
Today somebody on the allotments said it was not badgers but foxes.
He had not seen them but thought that the signs he had seen indicated
foxes.
Do foxes eat sweetcorn? I thought they are carnivores. We've had the
same thing happen before with sweetcorn. This year and last the
carrots were also eaten. Carrots and sweetcorn, on most allotments.
Badgers or foxes?

Foxes eat all sorts, at this time of year purple fox poo is evident from
Damsons and berries as well.
Badgers will happily co-exist in a larger area with others if there is
little threat to them, but are primarily a secretive creature avoiding
others and conflict where they can preferring their own "world" and peace.
Unfortunately they don't co exist with cars, as the one outside our house
yesterday morning found out. :-(
If it is Badgers then be honoured that they are around and watch them very
quietly (If you can find them) from a distance.
