Tracking.....poo guru

[British Red]

Saw this today on the middle rail of a post and rail fence on the South Downs. The faced section is overlooking grazing land amongst hedges and well away from the nearest trees.

Anyone care to hazard a guess as to the origin?

Is it definitely poo and not a pellet of some kind?

Hmmm - well I could be convinced otherwise...but I'd suspect dropping rather than pellet.....

Hard to judge the size as away from home using phone for net. But jackdaws in our garden leave similar behind. Perhaps another type of crow.

I like poo me, but useless when it comes to bird poop. I thought crows normally left pellets (?) to get rid of most of the waste so best guess would be a game bird of some sort. Doesn't look like the pheasant poop I normally see in local woods but then that has probably exploded out of the animal at some force during the panic of the hunting season....maybe this is a more relaxed pheasant?

Definately bird poop.
Could be phesent or possibly a goose (not canada though)

I'm doubting goose as its on the middle rail - so I suspect it must be a bird perching on the top rail

I do have a suspect in mind that I have seen in the area
