Why is there a dead crab on my drive?

[Audhumla]

We are fairly close to the sea but too far for a crab to walk. Could a seagull have dropped it?

We once found a an entire dead fish on a pavement near our house as well - is somebody distributing marine creatures round the neighbourhood for a joke?

I once had to swerve to avoid a whole roast chicken in the middle of a residential road….

Gull or bird of prey

Now that must be humans, surely? Very strange behaviour!

Poor little crab 😢

I watch the gulls do this with mussels from the groynes at the beach - smart of them

I live around a 10 minute walk from the sea and found a dead Starfish on my driveway recently, I’m guessing it was either dropped by a seagull or my cat had gone rock pooling.

If a gull dropped this crab deliberately to crack it for eating, then it forgot to actually eat it. I reckon it probably made a mistake and thought fuck it, I can't be arsed to get that.

I get headless pigeons in my garden several times a year. We live near a cathedral that has sparrow hawks nesting in the spires and a building between us and the cathedral that pigeons like to congregate on. The hawks sweep in, decapitate the pigeons and finish them off in our garden. Nice.

I used to live in London and was out one afternoon and a seagull dropped a rat very close to me !

Swap it for the mouse I found on my drive on Monday?

Gull, crow or fox I expect.

I randomly found a whole raw potato on my lawn once. A massive baking spud, about the size of my own foot. Not a mark on it.
