animal poo ID??

Hello, I hope I get some replies :)

I have 2 youtube links, one of them is a video of photos I took yesterday the other is a video of where they were taken, I took the setting today.

the vid of photo's is the poo how I found it but the other vid shows the poo broken as I had to have a look.

I hope that's not to confusing lol

The poo is about 5cm long and wide the other two blobs of poo are approx.18mm diameter , the feathers were pretty much as i found them

many thanks :)

the blobs with the feathers are bird - I can't make up my mind if it was partridge or pheasant - the other main scat I think might be fox that has been eating berries and grain before a nice bird dinner - I don't think it's otter or mink - did you notice a smell?

Thanks Cin J
the blobs were moist and couldn't smell anything, the fox poo was very dry and almost crumbled in my hands, apart from what you see I thought it was egg shell in the poo but I could be completely wrong? it didn't smell at all.. to dry maybe?
I regularly see pheasant and red legged partridge

Cheers

I think you are right there is eggshell in there with grass etc.

I would lean towards fox - I think badger latrines are more obvious as latrines but hopefully one of the other regulars will comment. Having said that I'm now starting to doubt myself and am actually wondering if its the contents of stomach and intestine that might have been flicked out - I'll stop now

Hey,
thanks for your replies, now the grass has been cut in the field and its accessible, its private land but I live on the farm and the owner lets me go wherever really so I'll get a cam trap on it soon and we'll see what turns up, if anything..
don't stop lol
