2/ Fox poo often contains cherry pips, alongside evidence of the animal part of their omnivore diet, but this is smaller, no twisted ends of tell tale fox poo, doesn’t smell and no sign of bits of fur.

Someone’s been eating lots of wild cherries! 🍒
I often find evidence of hedgehog visitors here 🦔 and clues suggest this might be the culprit, although it does look quite wide and packed with hard cherry pips, which doesn’t seem very comfortable 😳
Hedgehog poo next to 2p coin for scale

@wayfaringwilly I’ve got another #WhosePoo stumper! This was on the roof ledge of a building in Fort Worth, Texas. A city dweller of some sort. There are vines up to the roof so must be a good climber! Those could be pits from Mexican Plum, fruiting heavily now in area. Thoughts?
...caterpillar poop! 3/3 #whosepoo #sphinxmoth
Inspired by 'The story of the little mole who knew it was none of his business', #WhosePoo and @wayfaringwilly - I'm planning a Whose Poo? (Match the poo to the creature) display for the Grossology school hols in April...
Suggestions welcome!
