I'm flumuxed

A few weeks ago I chucked out a chicken carcass, then went out about half an hour later with a few more scraps, this would have been about 10pm, something moved away grumbling, making sounds I've never heard form our visitors before, it's grumbling carried on till it was a good 50 yards away. Then over this last weekend I found a casserole dish of pasta I'd forgotten, it was niffing a lot, but I thought they would clear it. I was wrong , in the morning something had scratched all round it to bury it the same as a cat will cover it's mess. The area scratched was about a Sq. yard, the next night more covering. Now I doubt it's a Fox, but a Fussy Badger? Any ideas? When you say "grumbling" exactly what do you mean? Was it a pig (or hedgehog) type noise, or cat like, or dog like? Not a sound I've heard before, I know it wasn't pig, moved to fast for hedgehog, and certainly not a noise I've ever heard a cat or dog make. Last night I disturbed a badger, and all it did was to move off along the hedge. |
