Hi
i keep seeing this animal poo all over my back garden lawn, that had only started appearing recently (autumn) and wasn’t there in the summer. Any ideas?
scared of mowing the lawn as I am pregnant

Looks like fox poo to me.
We get it all the time and it’s so annoying. Could be this years cubs are venturing out further on their own and finding new places to inhabit.

Have you got fat pigeons sitting in your trees? They poo a lot too.

Yes we do actually get a lot of fat pigeons in our garden! Just didn’t realise their poo looked like this

It depends what they're eating but if the piles are under a tree they could he your culprits.

I think if you put rubber gloves on and scoop it into a bag to bin before cutting the grass you'll be fine whatever animal has put it there.

I found the same thing in my garden today.

I would assume it is fox poo as I know we have foxes regularly coming into the garden at night (and sometimes even during the day). My next door neighbour has the same issue :).

Looks more like worm casts to me

That's what I was thinking. Photo is a bit blurred though.
