Who is pooing by my garden fence?

[ConkerBonkers]

I am unsure about who the phantom poo-er is. We have pet rabbits so I'm hoping it's not a fox. However, the poop don't stink.... so I don't think it's a fox or cat. Wood pigeons sit on our fence but I think the poo is too big and solid for a pigeon. Perhaps it could be an owl, but I can't see any feathers or bones there in it. Whoever it is they have been doing a lot of poo recently! Please get your sleuthing caps on :)

Gonna need a pic OP!

Fox poo tends to be a couple of inches long, black in colour and most of the time have a slight point of one end, badger poo is also black and runny and cat poo looks similar to fox but is brown and without the point!

Hope this helps 🤣

I can't seem to post a photo...it's a yellow ochre kind of colour, about 2-3 cm X 1.5 cm and has white stuff on it and near it reminiscent of bird droppinds

Here's a photo. They are generally a bit bigger than this, but this was a good example.

Cant see the pic. There is a wildlife poo identifying website.

Its not me, promise

I was thinking maybe hedgehog, but our ones don't have white bits in theirs.

i will try again!

Wood pigeon?

It looks like a pigeon has plopped on a toadstool

Hmm, I’ve had very similar bird poos on my car that size or bigger - nightmare to wash off! Knowing what sits in those trees I’ve narrowed it down to pigeon or crow

Looks like pigeon poo

If it's pooing 5p pieces, is it a Golden Goose?

Me. Sorry.

It’s a type of fungus. We used to get it this time of year a lot in a paddock. The telltale signs are the strands of white along the grass. Google Dog Vomit fungus / mould. Weird huh?’

Yeah, definitely no toadstool there, and the yellow poops are usually quite a bit bigger than that example, and they always have the white stuff near them. I never heard of a bird do a big shhhh like that, they are usually more liquidy, pinkywoo have you seen wood pigeon's business like that before? We had a different bird of prey near us recently, a sparrow hawk, and sometimes see bats....lots of owls about but the poo doesn't seem full of bones or feathers etc.

It looks like woodpigeon poo, we get loads in our school playground.

Daisydoesn't it is just sitting on top of the grass like it was shhh at there, rather than growing from the grass...so I'm not sure about it being fungus, but that was a good idea, thank you, I will keep that as a maybe.

Thank you terrified and worried, I guess it must be the wood pigeons then! Never would have thought their shhh its would be so substantial, lol

Yes that’s exactly how it forms - it doesn’t grow “out” of the grass as it were, but covers the strands as if they have been spattered with vomit. Nice I know.

Dog vomit slime/ mould photos. Sometimes it’s more of a yellowy clump, sometimes there’s lots of the whitish stuff along the strands of grass
