A few days ago, i found several quite large holes have been dug around a mound of old bonfire ash, one in particular is around 1 ft across and about the same in depth, why i have no idea as there is certainly nothing edible within, then i noticed another smaller disturbance to a part of the vegetable plot close to the path with soil scattered on to the path, once again just bare soil, nothing to eat in there, by the size of the holes i would generaly rule out foxes as the holes are quite low down and almost horizontal rather than on an downward angle which they would be in the case of a fox which is of course fairly tall.
Badgers are another thought but never have any badgers been seen in my area as all the gardens border a river with a small patch of waste ground between that and mine and neighbouring gardens, the waste ground although now heavily overgrown is still accessible and i would have heard if badgers had moved in.
Today i found some droppings on the top lawn containing some seeds of one sort or another, too late for cherry and definately not plum or apple so even more confused as to what is visiting at night, could any of our resident animal waste experts identify these for me please.
