What the foxes left…

[Granca]

I found these bones in the garden, fortunately while Tuppy was engrossed by her treat hunt! At first I thought maybe the foxes had raided somebody’s bin, but the two largest are joined together and there are extra bits too. Just hope I don’t find the rest of the body!

Have you any idea what animal they are from? Deer?

No, I’ve no idea. There are deer locally, but ove a mile away, so that doesn’t seem likely. Possibly badger, but no evidence of those at the moment either.

They are very big for an animal. Could you not take them into the vets and see what they say @Granca
There are no teeth marks on them that I can see.

My thoughts too

The foxes have been busy again. Yesterday I found what looked like a clump of fungus in the middle of the grass, about the size of a saucer. However, when I went to look at it I realised it had feathers… and it’s the head of an owl. I haven’t moved it yet.

They leave heads all over the place

They look like deer leg bones.

Yikes! Just the head…? Poor owl.
