Cats usually bury their poo. Young dog fox cubs are ejected from their
families round about late August. I suggest it might be them.
Doesn't fox poo have a very "foxy" but not unpleasant smell and a
pointed end? Cat poo smells foul.
I've been told (somewhere, probably on a Ray Mears wildlife prog or
the like) that all predators turds have a pointed end. Presumably to
prevent the anus slamming shut and thus giving their presence away to
their prey.
I do like that one :-)
