big patch of it, more appearing every night. Live quite rurally with woods near. Each poo is about 5cm diameter.

would like to know as it’s literally right in the middle of the fecking lawn and now becoming an issue to mow etc!!

I can’t wait for the reveal when the camera catches the pooper!
It does look like bird poo - from the first pic - it has a white urate cap, which mammal poo never has.

Pretty certain it's pheasant poo.

Me too 😂. I was so involved reading the thread and wanting to know who the mystery poop machine was

WhatALoadOfWankyness · 27/09/2022 10:27

I think it's some kind of cat

I'm excited to find out. I'm going with some kind of bird.

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 27/09/2022 19:22

I’m sticking with badger poo and it’s become their non flushable, composting toilet!
please let they camera get good footage 🙏

Iamacatslave · 27/09/2022 19:24

Looking forward to finding out.

MrsMitford3 · 27/09/2022 20:05

I am judging myself for my level of investment.

sweatyannie · 27/09/2022 20:30

Looking forward to seeing the footage !

legalseagull · 27/09/2022 22:38

That's a hell of a lot of poo!!!

I suspect to see an army of rodents shitting on the lawn

WhoopItUp · 27/09/2022 22:38

Blimey this is the most thrilling thread I’ve found in ages. I honestly can’t wait for the answer!

Bunnyfuller · 27/09/2022 22:40

Canada geese? They’re moving around lots at the mo, getting ready for winter stuff. We had the same poos on our lawn for a couple of days.

PriamFarrl · 27/09/2022 22:44

I’m now very much invested.

pennysays · 27/09/2022 22:45

Place marking. This is excellent mumsnetting.

Ledkr · 27/09/2022 22:51

No idea why but I'm also place marking 😂

StartupRepair · 27/09/2022 22:52

Completely fascinating thread.

FusionChefGeoff · 27/09/2022 22:53

There's just so much of it?!!

Not placemarking, oh no siree

ladydimitrescu · 27/09/2022 22:53

Pheasant

Whylurkwhenicanjoinin · 27/09/2022 22:54
