Whose been eating cherries?

[spandit]

Since the wild cherry trees in my local environs fruited. I've noticed some large turds, studded with the stones. They look like dog turds, about the size that mine do but are full of stones. Could it be badger or is someone just feeding their dog cherries and not picking up?

Could well be badger - they are opportunist feeders. This is badger scat

Even the birds haven't bothered with the cherries by me yet- i made the mistake of tucking into a particularly juicy one the other day- really nasty

Badger it is, then, I reckon... Funnily enough, haven't seen any cherries on the ground - must all get eaten ASAP!

A couple of years ago when my apple and pear trees fruited I blamed my kids for eating the fruit, until I saw my dogs out one early morning standing up on there hind legs to knaw on the fruit and leaving half eaten apples and pears still hanging on the tree!


"Why do elephants paint their toe nails red?
So they can hide in cherry trees."

"Have you ever seen an elephant hiding in a cherry tree?
No.
See it works doesn't it!"
