While out looking at the length of the grass, checking which flowers are now out, admiring the fresh lush growth of weeds, I noticed the evidence of an intruder in our garden. They had left their calling card...
now, I am not in the habit of taking photos of poo, but this one intrigued me. It looks too small for pussy cat, does not look like herbivore, I suspect it is too big for hedgehog... any ideas? Hmmm... anyone know what a sparrowhawk's poo looks like? I know we get visits from a bird of prey, though I haven't seen them... A pair of wings got left, complete with pectoral girdle... Nothing else, just wings and girdle, picked clean...
the daisy is there for scale!
Thoughts would be welcome.

I really want to be able to tell you what the poo is, but I am afraid I have no idea..... it looks a similar size to a Canada goose poo to me!!! I loved this blog post by the way (is that because I spend too much time with a three year old and so poo's are a frequent topic of conversation?) x
eeuuuu ! no idea .. something with quite a long gut to produce that length!! love the yellow flower x
I have absolutely no idea, sorry! Could you email Chris Packham, he seems quite interested in animal poo!!
I've seen a sparrowhawk in the garden in the past mamma, we certainly get visits from them!
