Years ago I was walking with some naturalists and spotted what could
have
been an otter's spraint on a tussock near the marshes' edge. A
mammalian
expert instantly got down on her knees and shoved her nose in it
and
sniffed. 'No, I think a teen-ager had some chips and then too much
lager.'
Was her verdict.
This offering is quite obvious. Fox, badger
and various lovely dogs we've
had all go for blackberries this time of the
year. This fox dropping is
about three times the size of one containing
residues of Field Voles and
things. It appears that virtually no digestion
has occurred. Where the
plastic came from is anybody's guess.
