animal droppings

[old-wos-is-name]

Hi All

Have been finding animal droppings in the garden. larger than a rats, smaller than a cat I live near a river/land drain that is full of wildlife, but don't think it can be a mink as the chickens are still alive, and I doubt if it was an otter as we have never seen one here. there are open fields to the rear, no woodland. any ideas??
thanks,

Hi Dave,
I will have to go out into the garden at dusk and see if I can find them. Lots of slugs in our garden, so plenty of food. there were hundreds of toads a few months ago, but not a sign of any now, I wonder if hedgehogs eat them?
